Description John Daiker 2008-11-14 17:15:03 UTC 
In conforming with the XDG Base Directory Specs, we should move the audioscrobbler.queue file out of ~/.gnome2/rhythmbox.  I don't know exactly where it should go, though.  My guesses, in order, are as follows:
/tmp
~/.local/share/rhythmbox/audioscrobbler.queue
~/.cache

Any ideas?

why do we need a new bug for this?
Comment 2 Jonathan Matthew 2008-11-14 21:45:22 UTC 
Apart from that, it seems fairly obvious that the queue file belongs in the user data dir, not the cache dir, as it's user-generated data that cannot be recreated.

Obvious to some, but not me.

And I only opened a bug to help track the issue.  And give a forum to post patches.

This depends on bug 518589 because a forseeable (and quick) solution would depend upon the rb_xdg_dot_dir() function in the latest patch for 518589.

After that, it's literally a two-liner if we disregard the previous location of the queue (and thus lose anything that was queued).  If we want to copy the queue, then it's still only a 8 or 9 liner.

I'll take care of it once rb_xdg_dot_dir() is committed.

fixed as part of 518589.
