Implements nicm#96 https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html If no configuration file is specified on the command-line, $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/fdm.conf is now the first file checked, then $HOME/.fdm.conf, and finally the system-wide /etc/fdm.conf. This allows the user to specify where they would like the configuration file to be stored. E.g. many users like to set XDG_CONFIG_HOME to $HOME/.config so that all their XDG-compliant programs have their configuration files stored there rather than in their home directory (or other arbitrary locations).

Continuation of nicm#96 implementation. From https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html: > There is a single base directory relative to which user-specific > runtime files and other file objects should be placed. This directory > is defined by the environment variable $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR. This also may provide slight performance benefits to this as XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is often set to a directory under /tmp which some systems configure to be mounted as tmpfs. If XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is not set or is an empty string, the old behaviour of the user's home directory is used.

Hey. It would be cool if FDM searched
$XDG_CONFIG_HOMEforfdm.conf, which is part of the XDG base directory specification.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
