rviz -d xyz could look for ~/.rviz/xyz.rviz if xyz does not exist? [feature request]

[v4hn]

This is just a minor potential usability improvement I came up with recently.
I use rviz -d /path/to/file.rviz quite a lot these days, working on a machine with multiple users of rviz.

Of course, this can be automated in a number of ways already, creating a shell alias, scripts or setup a launch file, but why not support the use-case in RViz directly?

Would it be a welcome feature in RViz to complete rviz -d xyz to rviz -d $HOME/.rviz/xyz.rviz if the original xyz is no valid file?

Why not. If you have it prepared already, please file a PR.

We work in different ways. 😀
I tend to ask whether it makes sense to write a patch for upstream before I invest the time to do it. ;)
I just wrote a patch and filed it as #1422

Fixed via #1422.
