Bug ID: 476854
Summary: Graphical layout state should use ${XDG_STATE_HOME},
not ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}
Classification: Frameworks and Libraries
Product: frameworks-kxmlgui
Version: unspecified
Platform: Exherbo
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kdelibs-b...@kde.org
Reporter: eternal...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
Version 0.8[1] of the XDG Base Directory Specification (released 2021-05-08)
added a new directory, `${XDG_STATE_HOME}`. From the spec:
> The $XDG_STATE_HOME contains state data that should persist between
> (application) restarts, but that is not important or portable enough
> to the user that it should be stored in $XDG_DATA_HOME. It may contain:
>
> - actions history (logs, history, recently used files, …)
> - current state of the application that can be reused on a restart
> (view, layout, open files, undo history, …)
[1]: https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/0.8
This would significantly reduce churn of files in `${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}`, with
significant benefits for use-cases where the config is immutable, under version
control, or otherwise benefits from not changing due to incidental (rather than
intentional) user action.
