You are saying about the home folder store settings of games?
This is an unix standard...
Yes, Sean is saying that we should not have any config (settings) folders in /boot/home. Also, should not use any dot folders which comes from Unix standard.
For "properly" ported Unix applications; settings should go into:
home/config/settings/program-name
example:
home/config/settings/Webpositive
Adrien (Haiku dev) said:
about the config files directory : properly ported apps should use this code :
find_directory(B_USER_SETTINGS _DIRECTORY)
This currently returns /boot/home/config/settings/, but it may change in future releases.
configure may allow to fix this otherwise should go through the code of the program and fix it. Then program will conform to Haiku's folder layout.
Haiku is not a unix system.
