Possible to change the $HOME/.filebot path?
Posted: 13 Mar 2019, 15:22
I bought FileBot a few months ago and it works fantastic.
My question is about the `$HOME/.filebot` path. Is it possible to change it? I'm on MacOS. I noted that the `filebot.sh` script references `APP_DATA="$HOME/.filebot"` as the application data folder. I realize I can just create my own script and add that to my `$PATH`, but I was hoping for a less nuclear approach.
If it's not possible, would you consider making this an environment variable that users can modify?
I'm big on the XDG Base Directory Specification, where the ultimate purpose is to help keep a clean home directory, so barring full support of the XDG spec (which would be fantastic if FileBot supported it), would you be willing to add an environment variable to at least specify where the application data gets stored, instead of always in `$HOME/.filebot`?
Thanks!
