Hello Simon, Thanks for the explanations, and for the links giving some context. Op 10-10-2017 om 06:20 schreef Simon Ochsenreither:
[discussion of file placement]My position on this is that config files should use XDG_CONFIG_HOME. For things like history the common accepted approach is to put them into XDG_DATA_HOME, as they cannot be automatically recreated by the application
Okay. I'm glad we agree on that. :) For lack of a $XDG_STATE_HOME. But I wonder: what should nano do if there is both a ~/.nanorc file and a $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nano/nanorc file? Should the first eclipse the latter, or the other way around?
PS: I will try and update the patch with your feedback as soon as I have some time on my hands again.
Thanks. Benno
