I agree with comments #2 and #3 regarding the urgency of this issue. As John Wang points out, it would be best to address this issue before the current data location becomes entrenched once more snaps are rolled out.
In comment #11, Mark Shuttleworth suggested that “$HOME/.snap” makes sense. I too prefer placing snap user data in the “$HOME/.snap” location. But I notice that flatpak places flatpak user data in “$HOME/.local/share/flatpak” in accordance with the XDG spec. See https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/wiki/Filesystem So an argument could be made for placing snap user data in "$HOME/.local/share/snap" to conform with the XDG spec. ** Summary changed: - User data directory should conform to XDG Base Directory Specification + Please move snap user data from "$HOME/snap" to "$HOME/.snap" (or to "$HOME/.local/share/snap" in accordance with the XDG spec) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1575053 Title: Please move snap user data from "$HOME/snap" to "$HOME/.snap" (or to "$HOME/.local/share/snap" in accordance with the XDG spec) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/snapd/+bug/1575053/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
