Bug 103801 – games-arcade/smclone preferences file clutters home folder

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Henrique Rodrigues 2005-08-26 01:11:00 UTC]

games-arcade/smclone preferences file is, by default, $HOME/preferences.ini.
This clutters the home folder a bit. My suggestion for it would be a hidden
file, like $HOME/.smclone, for example.

This is quite easy to change. The preferences file is defined in
src/include/preferences.h, line 23:
#define PREF_NAME "preferences.ini"

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge games-arcade/smclone
2. launch "smc"
3. exit the game

Actual Results:  
there's a new file, $HOME/preferences.ini


Expected Results:  
create a hidden preferences file, so that it would not clutter the home folder
