Even these are legacy locations now (in the brave new XDG world). A new app would use ~/.config/$appname/ for settings ~/.cache/$appname for files which can be deleted without loss, and ~/.local/share/$appname for actual data storage which should not be deleted. (The idea is that deleting the .config dir brings things back to default settings without loosing any data). BBC iPlayer appears to use ~/.appdata to be awkward.
Thank you for the update. I understand and appreciate ~/.config/... and ~/.cache/... .What type of "data" should go into ~/.local/... esp. what is the border line to data stored in projects or things I want to have generally visible like /usr/share/... ?
