Howdy, There was discussion on Reddit[1] asking about how to get various games to use alternate directories for the various files, particularly the FreeDesktop.org $XDG_* directory layout. These mostly break down into a couple categories:
- save-games in $XDG_DATA_HOME - configuration in $XDG_CONFIG_DIR (e.g. .huntd.conf) - high-score files in $XDG_STATE_HOME Any such modifications would likely need to do some fallback logic, attempting the $XDG file first, and falling back to $HOME in a second attempt. I too appreciate the goals of moving such files away from cluttering $HOME into well-known subdirectories. Would there be any interest in such XDG-dir patches for the relevant games[3] if I attempted to implement them and provide such a patch-set? -tkc [1] https://www.reddit.com/r/openbsd/comments/17j0zi9/change_game_score_default_directory/ [2] https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html [3] atc(6), battlestar(6), canfield(6), hack(6), hunt(6), robots(6), snake(6), and tetris(6) all seem to refer to $HOME
