Description Matteo Settenvini 2003-12-22 05:58:41 UTC
Just a trivial one. Savegames for Scummvm should be saved in a separated dir, and not in the user's home dir (which starts to be overpopulated in a short way... ;)

This is done by adding a new variable in the env:

export SCUMMVM_SAVEPATH=~/.scummvm

and by creating a folder in every user's home. Something like (this is really unclean):

for i in `ls -d /home/*`; do mkdir $i/.scummvm; chown $( sed s/[/]//gi $i | sed s/home// ) $i/.scummvm; done

Reproducible: Always

No, since the code for scummvm already supports this environment variable
we'll leave it up the the individual to add it to their environment and set it
to whatever they want.  You can also set the savepath parameter in the config
file to where ever you like.  No reason to go messing with the way the package
is distributed.

marking WONTFIX.
