I don't know, and like I mentioned, I tried to Google it, to see who decided on the ~/.local/ and what everything is supposed to go in there. As far as I can see, Kunbuntu and Ubuntu desktops use in for the Trash can (delete files get moved to ~/.local/share/Trash/files/ directory. WINE also seems to use it, and some applications install there icons into ~/.local/share/icons. Like I said, no idea if it's a "standard", but there are definitely a few unrelated software projects using it. > I still haven't recovered from the mistake to put everything below > '.config', also a 'standard' by freedesktop, implemented in sysutils :( For configuration files, I love the .config directory. :-) [Sorry Michael] > So .fppkg it is by default, and it remains so. Good old unix custom. No complaints here, just thought I would mention the "dot" directories I have in my $HOME.
