Oh sorry - basically just a github ticket to an explanation about the .config folder. Pi doesn't respect XDG_BASE_DIR specification, and even if you use the env var it combines cache and config.

The ticket is closed and this will not be changed, period.

Thanks. Just for clarification:

> even if you use the env var it combines cache and config

You mean both cache and config respect Pi's config env var, or that they get combined somehow independently of the variable?

I assume the former, just wanted to confirm.

From what I understood in the ticket ( I haven't confirmed independently) it's the later. You can set an environment variable to move the .pi directory ( into your XDG Config dir) but it's both the cache and config combined.

Quick Edit: Since github is back up, heres the comment I was referencing: https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/534#issuecomment...

		Ah thanks. I see the problem now. In fairness, it doesn't concern me personally very much, but the refusal to engage is not great.
