Is it really a hidden .gntrc in the already hidden .config?

ivanhoe July 26, 2021, 9:05 p.m.

Yes it is. From gntmain.c:
filename = g_build_filename(gnt_get_config_dir(), ".gntrc", NULL);
gnt_style_read_configure_file(filename);

ivanhoe July 26, 2021, 9:11 p.m.

Maybe the dot should be dropped. Apparently, using gnt_get_config_dir was introduced for Windows compatibility which doesn't always handle dot files that well anyway.

QuLogic July 26, 2021, 9:19 p.m.

Yes, we should fix that. The default path is hidden in .config already, so doesn't need the dot. If you pass a custom config dir, then it doesn't need to be hidden. And on Windows, the dot does nothing.

Change Summary:

removed dot from gntrc and made the file path a variable to account for different config location on Windows

If possible, I'd rather there be a General Paths kind of section, that describes that we follow XDG, etc., and the default paths.

And everywhere else just calls it gntrc without a path.

\( is not a valid string escape.

ivanhoe July 28, 2021, 6:53 a.m.

What do you mean? \(rs is how you produce a backslash in nroff, I tested this and it produces a backslash.

I guess this is a moot point now, since I removed that from the meson file again.

Change Summary:

addressed Elliot's 2nd issue

This is the old revision, I think?

hah I'm dumb and didn't realize that was going into the man_conf object...

Should we highlight those paths somehow? Not sure how that might work in man pages (if there's some standard way to do it or whatever.)
