Hi, Matthias. Thank you for stepping in.<br>
<br>
Would you consider taking any suggestions for potentially improving/overhauling and even finalising the XDG Base Directory specification to provide something of a proper standard for applications to follow more consistently? As much as I love the spirit of that spec, I can't help but feel like there are still some flaws to address, particularly when it comes to things like XDG_RUNTIME_DIR's (frankly kind of insane) requirements and the somewhat nebulous nature of XDG_CONFIG_DIRS and XDG_DATA_DIRS.<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
90<br>
