[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #55855] GUI configuration files are not located following each platform's convention

[Torsten Lilge]

Follow-up Comment #12, bug #55855 (project octave):

Mike, thanks for reviewing.

* The check for XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not done for finding old settings. Instead,
the old settings are only copied to the new location if XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not
set. If XDG_CONFIG_HOME is set, a non existing new settings might be intended
and is not necessarily caused by the first run of octave with the new settings
location.

* Regarding your pseudo code: Why writing the settings key by key instead of
just copying the file?
