New Save Game location on Linux
With the desktop version of the NEO Scavenger moving over to the Haxe-based engine, I thought it would be the best opportunity to suggest where save games could be located on Linux. I hope it is not too late to implement.
The XDG Base Directory specification is a guide to where applications should place their data.
So instead of
$HOME/.NEOScavenger it would be:
$XDG_DATA_HOME is undefined.
So why do this?
Applications that follow the spec are easier to backup. Data migration is easier. Cache is separated, and the $HOME folder isn't polluted with hundreds of program files everywhere (like the Document folders on Windows).
Windows & Mac have similar specifications also.
