support XDG_CONFIG_HOME & XDG_DATA_HOME

[legrostdg]

It would be great if gphoto2 could support XDG_CONFIG_HOME and XDG_DATA_HOME.

~/.gphoto/settings probably belongs to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gphoto/settings

See http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html for the reference.

Not high priority, though :).

I would also like to see this change as well

This is definitely an issue for the libgphoto2 library.

Wait a minute... @legrostdg what did you think gphoto2 should use XDG_DATA_HOME for?

[legrostdg]

@ndim I'm not sure of what files (lib)gphoto2 uses. On my computer, I just have ~/.gphoto/settings, which should go to XDG_CONFIG_HOME

@legrostdg That is what I thought, but I wanted to make sure. Thanks you!

We handle the settings file as part of libgphoto2, so this issue can be closed again.
