[plasmashell] [Bug 405750] Why is .kde4/share/config/kdeglobals still being created?
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=405750 --- Comment #15 from Shmerl --- For what it's worth, looks like $HOME/.kde isn't being created anymore (even with current plasma before Qt 6 usage). Hooray! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=405750 --- Comment #14 from Shmerl --- For XDG support you can see the specification itself: https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html In fact, KDE project is behind it too, so it's a bit surprising that still needs reasoning. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=405750 Shmerl changed: What|Removed |Added CC||shtetl...@gmail.com --- Comment #13 from Shmerl --- (In reply to David Edmundson from comment #10) > Why? To complete proper support of XDG base directory spec. I'd prefer to avoid all such clutter, and $HOME/.kde is one of the remaining offenders. For instance Debian now removed kde4libs altogether. Going forward probably all of such cases will be gone. But if you want to still keep it for legacy purposes, at least it would be useful to be able to turn it off, either at compile time (then distros can do it), or as a runtime config key, then users can turn it off on demand. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=405750 --- Comment #11 from Erik Quaeghebeur --- (In reply to David Edmundson from comment #10) > Why? To avoid clutter in my home directory. Dotfiles/Dotdirs are useful, but if every application just keeps on dumping their stuff there, it's a pain to browse. (Also, some applications like Firefox don't filter out dotfiles in its file save dialog.) The XDG Base Directory Specification that AFAIK KDE as a project intends to support is 7 or more years old and Qt4/KDE4 have been deprecated for 4(?) years now. I guess that at some point this writing out of .kde4/... will cease. I assume that this will be done with deprecation first, where the functionality is still available if explicitly compiled-in or configured, before final removal. So implementing my feature request is essentially preparing for that already. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

It's krdb in plasma-desktop/kcms (then run on startup indirectly via kcminit) We sync settings, fonts/style etc to where kde4 loads them from. We can't know if you have (or are going to have) a KDE4 app installed. It's fairly harmless, there's no kde4 deps needed, it's just some config files. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
