Description Will Manley 2008-05-14 21:56:47 UTC 
The lyrics folder currently defaults to ~/.lyrics .  As the directory just is just a cache of lyrics downloaded from the internet the lyrics directory should default to $XDG_CACHE_HOME/lyrics.  This way it can be automatically ignored by backup systems, etc.

Forgot to say: if $XDG_CACHE_HOME is undefined it should default to ~/.cache/ as seen here: http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/latest/ar01s03.html

There's a g_get_user_cache_dir () function which probably does all of that for us (ie gets the appropriate cache directory name)

        * plugins/lyrics/lyrics/__init__.py:
        Use 'lyrics' under the user cache dir for the default lyrics cache
        directory instead of ~/.lyrics.  Fixes #533199.
