Also run into this issue. I used to exclude cache data from backups by simply excluding $HOME/.cache . Since the introduction of Snap apps, I have the troublesome task to exclude every .cache folder per snap app separately in the backup script. Especially with apps like Spotify it is necessary for it will otherwise include many GBs of cache data in my backups I really don't want.
It would be great if indeed Snap would comply to at least one base XDG_CACHE_HOME for all apps somehow, for instance by putting subdirectories for cache data per app,like ~/.cache/snap/chromium ~/.cache/snap/spotify etc. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1887804 Title: chromium-browser does not follow XDG base directory specification To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/chromium-browser/+bug/1887804/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
