Bug ID: 422529
Summary: Reviving ~/.kde in a different form
Product: frameworks-kconfig
Version: unspecified
Platform: Compiled Sources
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: matt...@mjdsystems.ca
Reporter: a...@gmx.com
CC: kdelibs-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
I would love KDE developers to reconsider their decision to kill ~/.kde for
storing KDE apps configuration, caches, etc.
I'm not talking about reviving ~/.kde{,5} per se but I wanna offer an
alternative:
Let's store the files for KDE based applications in
~/.config/kde/
~/.local/share/kde/
~/.cache/kde/
Why do I think this is necessary? Almost two years ago I tried running KDE and
it created a huge mess under ~/.config/ :

to be honest I'm not a huge fan of it.
For instance XFCE4 has all its files stored neatly in ~/.config/xfce4 and it's
quite easy to work with them (keep track of, save, restore, grep, etc).
Right now KDE settings are mingled with all other applications and it doesn't
look pretty and makes things complicated.
