[issue24765] Move .idlerc to %APPDATA%\IDLE on Windows
jan parowka added the comment: fiddling with the entry bar the right way and adding exactly 'AppDate\' to the existing path You can type in '%APPDATA%' in the path bar, run dialog, or even start menu, and it will take you to the current user's Application Data folder. It works from XP upwards. The one .idlerc directory is used for all currently installed python versions Yes, I imagine that's a bigger issue. The installer could, however, check whether there is currently an .idle directory in user folder and copy the settings over. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue24765 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

New submission from jan parowka: IDLE shouldn't pollute user's home directory on Windows, standard location for config files is %APPDATA%\App, which resolves to C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\App in Vista upwards and somewhere in Documents and Settings under XP. -- components: IDLE messages: 247754 nosy: jan parowka priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Move .idlerc to %APPDATA%\IDLE on Windows type: enhancement versions: Python 3.4 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue24765 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

jan parowka added the comment: Mac Developer Library mentions Library/Application Support/App as a preferred directory to store configuration files for an application, gotten via a call to NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains or NSFileManager with NSApplicationSupportDirectory path key and either NSLocalDomainMask domain (for all users) or NSUserDomainMask domain (for current user). https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/General/Conceptual/MOSXAppProgrammingGuide/AppRuntime/AppRuntime.html -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue24765 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
