Bug ID: 507007
Summary: Kolourpaint installs color schemes in an inappropriate
location
Classification: Applications
Product: kolourpaint
Version First 25.07.80
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Other
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general

SUMMARY
While packaging Kolourpaint 25.07.80, it was noticed that it installs color
scheme files in /etc/xdg/colors, which is a weird place for
application-specific data. It would be vastly preferred if this was installed
into a subdirectory of /usr/share/kolourpaint/ or similar application-specific
data directory, so that it doesn't pollute the global /etc space and doesn't
get incorrectly marked as user-modifiable config files rather than the data
files they actually are.
If these are intended to be global color scheme options, they should be
installed in /usr/share somewhere instead of /etc along with the rest of the
style data rather than with kolourpaint.
OBSERVED RESULT
Color schemes are installed in /etc/xdg/colors
EXPECTED RESULT
Color schemes are installed in /usr/share/kolourpaint/colors or similar private
directory.
