Yes, that was something I thought about, too. System applications shouldn't even link against libraries in your home directory. I think we should investigate how compatible this is with the existing BeOS applications, and then see if we can keep it for R1 or weaken it a bit (i.e. make symlinks to the home folder counterparts). > IMHO, there are many apps that have cluttered my home/config folder > with > "fonts", "etc", "man", etc. Most of this can be moved to the "data" > folder, but > "man" contains documents. I don't mind the "fonts" directory, although it could indeed better be placed below a new data/s directory. Since we already have the "documentation" folder, I think we could keep this, too. > Do we have an app documentation folder?

Yes, it's probably still getting worse. Bye, Axel.
