GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 676129
Move settings to an XDG-Compliant folder

This patch also merges the Windows and Linux variants of the get_xdir_fs by using a nice glib function. It's currently untested on Windows but it should just work :)

There is no migration code, is there? So after installing a version with this patch I would have my logs scattered (old logs in ~/.xchat and new logs in the new place)?
I think that should be done by the distribution itself when upgrading the package and not by xchat itself.
How would the distribution know that this is required? Why should every distribution come up with their own code?
This would need to re-introduce the code i deleted just to get the previous config path, defeating the whole point of the patch. After all end user has just to do 'mv ~/.xchat2 ~/.config/xchat2', its not black magic :)

Will put this one on hold, until I check up further on migration/cleanup script self reference: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=673257 Cheers
xchat-gnome is not under active development anymore. Its codebase has been archived: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/xchat-gnome/commits/master Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather reactivate the project to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is deprecated) if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again. You may want to switch to Hexchat (or another IRC client that suits you).
