[tomboy-list] Directory migration on Windows and Mac

[Sandy Armstrong]

Hi all,

So this is a follow-up to my mail about data migration on Linux.  I
just want to share my thoughts on migration for Windows and Mac.
There is still time to fix this before the stable release, as it's not
affected by string freeze.  Still, I'd like to get it right the first
time, so feedback before tomorrow would rock.  :-)


Windows

Windows doesn't seem to have anything as clear as the XDG base
directory standard to tell me where to put things.  From what I've
read, I should put stuff in ApplicationData if I want it to be
supported in roaming profiles, and LocalApplicationData if it should
*not* be supported in roaming profiles.  So here's what I've come up
with:

Notes: %APPDATA%\tomboy\notes
Configuration and addin*: %APPDATA%\tomboy\config
Cache: %LOCALAPPDATA%\tomboy\cache
Log:%LOCALAPPDATA%\tomboy\tomboy.log

Mac

On Mac, there is a fairly well-defined structure under ~/Library:

Notes: ~/Library/Application Support/Tomboy
Configuration and addin*: ~/Library/Preferences/Tomboy
Cache: ~/Library/Caches/Tomboy
Log: ~/Library/Logs/Tomboy.log
--


Thanks,
Sandy
