Summary: Use XDG Base Directory Specification Product: Wine Version: 1.1.33 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: cristiklein+wine@gmail.com
Hello,
The XDG Base Directory Specification [1]. Aims at solving two issues:
1) User's home directory is currently filled with hidden files. 2) Application settings, cache and data files are not separated.
Wine does not currently respect this standard.
- The "*.reg" files and "dosdevices" folder should be moved to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/wine. - drive_c should be moved to $XDG_DATA_HOME/wine
