GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 520103
Gnome-schedule doesn't match FreeDesktop directories specs
Last modified: 2021-05-25 11:34:54 UTC
Please describe the problem: I've tried the latest release of gnome-schedule (2.0.2) on Ubuntu Hardy alpha 5 and i've seen that gnome-schedule places its files in /.gnome directory. Whereas there are specs about that, by freedesktop.org : 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 vaulues if the variables are not set. 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) PS : i like the new UI, thank you for that piece of software Steps to reproduce: Install gnome-schedule from synaptic with Ubuntu Hardy Actual results: The directories structure used by gnome-schedule doesn't match freedesktop.org specs Expected results: gnome-schedule should not use /.gnome directory for its files but should match these specs http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/latest/ar01s02.html Does this happen every time? yes Other information:

GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new enhancement request ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-schedule/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
