Hi Folks,
I've had some feedback on the location of the 3D cache data on various
systems.
At the moment the data is in
wxStandardPaths::Get().GetUserConfigDir()/kicad/3d/cache
and since that's a subdir of a configuration directory I guess it's not
surprising
that users are not happy.
From discussion with other devs it seems to be agreed that the
3D cache data should go into:
1. OSX: ~/Library/Caches/kicad/3d
Equivalent: ${HOME}/Library/Caches/kicad/3d
2. Linux: ~/.cache/kicad/3d
Actually it should be ${XDG_CACHE_HOME}/kicad/3d with the fallback
${HOME}/.cache/kicad/3d
3. MSWin: AppData\Local\kicad\3d
wxStandardPaths::UseAppInfo( AppInfo_None );
wxStandardPaths::Get().GetUserLocalDataDir();
So far we have %AppData%\Local or equivalent, now we add kicad\3d
Any comments/objections? If there are no objections I will create a patch
to implement this. One drawback of course is that current users of the
dev branch will have a lot of junk cache data in the old location but
this is
a detail which should be fixed.
- Cirilo
