Re: [Bug-gnubg] New location for homedirectory?

[Christian Anthon]

g_get_user_data_dir /home/anthon/.local/share
g_get_user_config_dir /home/anthon/.config

in accordance with the wording in the api and the document referenced
there. On windows data_dir uses CSIDL_PERSONAL where it should use
CSIDL_APPDATA. Perhaps we can do something like

#if WIN32
gnubg_config_dir = g_build_filename(g_get_user_config_dir(), "gnubg", "config");
gnubg_data_dir = g_build_filename(g_get_user_config_dir(), "gnubg", "data");
#else
gnubg_config_dir = g_build_filename(g_get_user_config_dir(), "gnubg");
gnubg_data_dir = g_build_filename(g_get_user_datadir_dir(), "gnubg");
#endif
