Yup!

Actually #124 does this, but I've been dragging my feet since ~/.mcfly seems like a good default to me.

But I'd definitely be fine with making it configurable.

Ya I like ~/.mcfly as a default. But having it overridable if the env var exists.

How about $MCFLY_DB_DIR

@praveenperera I think I'm going to accept #124, given the community pressure. Any thoughts?

@cantino ya that sounds reasonable. Sorry I haven't been able to look at the PRs yet. But I'm assuming it's only changing the default if .mcfly dir doesn't already exist?

Personally though I've never liked having files in ~/Library/Application Support/ just seems harder to access. I always wondered why Mac data dir isn't in the same place as the linux one.

I suggest following the freedesktop.org XDG base directory specification rather than defaulting ~/.mcfly. This solves all platform interoperability issues cleanly.

This issue is still not fixed on macOS.

What issue @utkarshgupta137 ?

The path is not configurable on macOS. The XDG_DATA_HOME/XDG_CACHE_HOME is only respected on Linux, not macOS or Windows.

@cantino Are you working on a fix? Or would you accept a PR? If so, should I just replace the locations?

I am not, a PR would be welcome.

#349 has been open since April 2023. Any updates on this configuration being baked into McFly?

I don't think the problem is solved by that PR, since history.db is stored along with configuration. Also, there is no configurability on macOS, since XDG is not respected currently.
