Description Nishio Futoshi 2010-10-05 12:29:45 UTC 
gnote-0.7.2 is crash without $HOME/.local direcroty.
I add patch to create the direcroty.

Thanks
Comment 2 Christian Persch 2010-10-05 14:45:43 UTC 
The patch is wrong since it will create the directory with the wrong permissions (XDG spec says 0700; boost::filesystem::create_directory doesn't do that). Just use g_mkdir_with_parents().
Comment 3 Nishio Futoshi 2010-10-09 00:44:08 UTC 
OK, I modified patch using g_mkdir()

Proposed fix

A cleaner way to do it is to fix the NoteManager::create_directory method itself. That way you do not need to check every time you are going to create a directory.

This problem has been fixed in our software repository. The fix will go into the next software release. Thank you for your bug report.
