This has been discussed on this list before, without everyone coming to an agreement. The project I work with (Warzone2100) has the same issue: There is some user data that the user should have easy access to, to be able to copy it between computers, send it to friends, or install custom files, and we do not want to hide that away deep under a hidden directory (.config) nor require super-user privileges to access it (/usr/local). We also now use a hidden directory under the user's home directory (~/.warzone2100-2.3 in our case), but neither we nor distributions are very satisfied with this. The best would be a non-hidden directory for this purpose, like 'Documents/Games' or something else, similar to how it is done on the Windows platform. - Per _______________________________________________ Games mailing list Games@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/games
