Location of assets on Linux
Posted: Sat Jul 07, 2018 2:52 pm
Although I'm not a Linux user myself, I'd like feedback from our Linux users on the location of the Makehuman user assets folder.
My understanding is that MakeHuman user assets are currently located by default in ~/makehuman/v1 on the Linux platform. The tilde indicates the user home directory, typically, /home/username
For Mac and Windows users, assets are typically located in a Documents folder. On the Mac, this is /Users/USERNAME/Documents/MakeHuman/v1/ On Windows 10, this is c:/user/%USERNAME%/Documents/makehuman/v1
A proposal was made to move the Linux Makehuman users assets folder one level down into a (the) Documents folder which would make it consistent across platforms and reduce "clutter" in the Linux user's home folder. The folder would now be located in the equivalent of ~/Documents/makehuman/v1
Any comments pro or con from our Linux base?
