Description Kevin D. Knerr, Sr. 2007-02-01 11:22:47 UTC
Just switched to 0.121 from Pan stable and am really pleased with most of the changes--great job!

However, I believe the score file should be stored under ~/.pan2, along with the other configuration files instead of the hard-coded ~/News/Scores. I offer the following points:

1. The syntax has changed, so the new Pan is ignoring my old scoring rules but appending them to the same file as was used by the prior version.
2. The score file is Pan-specific and belongs in Pan's configuration data directory, not the traditional ~/News.
3. The file location is not configurable by the user. If the user chooses to save attachments to a different directory, the score file becomes separated from both the saved attachments and Pan's configuration files.
