gstreamer doesn't match FreeDesktop directories specs
Last modified: 2009-03-01 18:50:06 UTC
Please describe the problem: I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty alpha and it seems that gstreamer places its configuration files in /home/.gstreamer-0.10 directory which doesn't match FreeDesktop directories specs : The default for $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is $HOME/.config, the default for $XDG_DATA_HOME is $HOME/.local/share. So all applications should look for those environment variables and use those default values if the variables are not set. This is quite important since it's not possible to easily backup config & data files if these files are not stored at the right place See http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/basedir-spec See also http://ploum.frimouvy.org/?184-cleaning-user-preferences-keeping-user-data (main post and comment#8) Steps to reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Other information:
