Feature description
As part of #513, it was suggested to use
~/.conda-store
as the default data directory. This was implemented successfully in #639.I am suggesting we stick to well defined standards for this kind of decisions, instead of polluting the home directory with one more dot-folder. Namely:
~/Library
. See this SO thread.%LOCALAPPDATA%
(i.e. non-roaming).Value and/or benefit
Following well established standards in each Operating System allow us to be better citizens, and navigate better known spaces (e.g. permissions, lack of user profiles in some Windows installations).
A nice side effect, and one of the reasons these standards exist, is to avoid polluting the user profile with dot-directories.
Anything else?
