Default path for themes

[Jopp-gh]

Please don't put themes into ~/.masscode, but under ~/.local/share/masscode.

Common coding practices advice to place configurations under ~/.config, but this spot is already used by electrons configuration data. So, the next best path is ~/.local/share/masscode/.

Only very very old applications put configurations into dot directories under home or even much worse, under ~/documents.
I thank you in advance. MassCode is Great software.

I wouldn’t say that only very old applications use dot directories in the home folder. VS Code, for example, stores installed extensions, including themes, in ~/.vscode/extensions on both Linux and macOS, as documented here. Using ~/.local/share/masscode is a reasonable suggestion, but the current approach is also used by modern, widely adopted applications.

Agreed.
Then concept is, user installed applications aren't system relevant, but user relevant.

Home ~ should be a place, where users organize their data and not, where applications put their configurations, no matter if a dot file/directory because we have config and local specific for app configurations.

There are exceptions to the rule, but these needs to justify its exception.
