Description Joanmarie Diggs (IRC: joanie) 2010-07-27 18:39:50 UTC 
With the commits for bug 596108, files related to Orca's configuration are now stored in XDG-DATA-HOME/orca rather than $HOME/.orca. At the moment, however, if a $HOME/.orca is found, it is used. This makes life easier for the users running both the stable and unstable versions of Orca. Users wishing to move their settings to the proper location can optionally do so via 'orca -m' or 'orca --migrate-config'.

As we approach the GNOME 3.0 release, we should:

* remove the option and just move $HOME/.orca to XDG-DATA-HOME/orca
  if the former exists and the latter does not.

* remove the warning which is present is a user attempts to migrate
  after migration has already been completed. If we have Orca users
  running GNOME < 3.0 (due to accessibility issues), and continuing
  to run stable and unstable versions of Orca, we don't want them
  warned each time they use the unstable version.

* consider informing the user that their config files have been
  relocated.
