Subject: [RFC PATCH 04/13] b4: resolve platform-native data and cache directories
Date: Sat, 25 Apr 2026 12:49:32 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260425194943.1499-5-lutgaru@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260425194943.1499-1-lutgaru@gmail.com>
XDG_DATA_HOME and XDG_CACHE_HOME are honoured when set, covering custom
Linux/macOS setups. Add a Windows branch that reads APPDATA (for data)
and LOCALAPPDATA (for cache) before falling back to the
pathlib.Path.home() equivalents, matching the Windows platform
convention.
