With the XDG Basedir Spec you don't have to use ~/.local/share and ~/.config if you don't like them, they are just the defaults after all and you can set the respective environment variables to whatever you want. That is not an option you had before. Admittedly, it would have been nice if the variables were defined in a way that let you reproduce the traditional dotfiles, e.g. by pasting $XDG_DATA_HOME in front of the app name so you could set XDG_DATA_HOME=$HOME/. and requiring an explicit trailing slash if you want them to be a directory. |
