Description Elvis Angelaccio 2017-05-05 21:15:26 UTC 
Trojita currently stores the address book in the ~/.abook folder, but it would be more consistent if it used $XDG_DATA_HOME/trojita/abook instead (at least when trojita runs in a XDG-compliant [1] desktop).

Comment 1 Thomas Lübking 2017-05-06 07:48:23 UTC 
The background is that the original abook¹ has no actual XDG support (you can pass a config and data file on start, but it only looks up ~/.abook by default)

Otherwise one would of course have used QSettings defaults anyway.

Oh I didn't know abook was an external project. Reported upstream: https://sourceforge.net/p/abook/feature-requests/13/
