Description piedro 2015-10-21 18:10:47 UTC 
The configuration file "sonnet.conf" should be under ~/.config/sonnet.conf, shouldn't it... 

ATM this file is located at ~/.config/KDE/sonnet.conf. This seems inconsistent as it is the only file in this folder. 

 

Reproducible: Always

Edit: Please add a question mark to the first line of the previous post. I cannot find any edit button, so ....

Is this too challenging a task to just simply fix one entry in the configuration file for developers to care? 

Sonnet is the only application to use this path. 

But I guess it's allright, it's only two years old for a 20 second change...
Keep up the good work!

Cheers, p.

Sonnet uses QSettings instead of KConfig, to be able to work in pure Qt applications. The QSettings class mandates an 'organization' name. You can see it with many other Qt applications, such as Trojita, Minitube, etc. Some applications simply use the applications name as the organization name, e.g. sqlitebrowser, smplayer etc.

By this logic it wouldn't it be correct to have the location:  

~/.config/Sonnet/sonnet.conf 

?
