Implement preliminary support for XDG Base Directory Specification. See http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html. This feature was requested for a long time (feature requests #1950978 and #2289481). For now, it is disabled since it breaks compatibility with previous versions. To be able to test it, you have to enable it by defining USE_XDG to 1 in main.h. geeqierc and other conf files are going to: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/geeqie/ (default to $HOME/.config/geeqie/). metadata and thumbnails cache (if std is not used) are going to: $XDG_CACHE_HOME/geeqie/metadata/ (default to $HOME/.cache/geeqie/metadata/) and $XDG_CACHE_HOME/geeqie/thumbnails/ (default to $HOME/.cache/geeqie/thumbnails/) collections are going to: $XDG_DATA_HOME/geeqie/collections/ (default to $HOME/.local/share/geeqie/collections/) Please test and report any issue.
