If I remember correctly we just discussed the introduction of new
directoy types in this list a few weeks ago.
B_USER_DATA_DIRECTORY was one of the proposed additions.
While it would be easy to add these types, and I'll probably do it for
testing purposes, I don't think we have finally decided on that matter
yet.
I see evil things happening. This should not become a replacement for
/boot/apps/{my-app}/data. Static data that should be readable by all
users (game data files, for example) should live in the app's data
folder. Otherwise we will have a totally cluttered system.
IMHO, what should go into the new folder are:
dynamic (!!!) data files that are NOT settings!
For global folders we can take parts of the GE-RFC into account: Move
some things to /users/shared/.
In that folder we probably need:
add-ons
apps
bin
cache
data
desktop
docs (or documentations?)
man
libraries
settings
The global cache, data, docs, and settings folders could already go
there. You agreed on the RFC's folder structure, didn't you?
Bye,
Waldemar
