If you’re on a Windows box, the apps you’re calling out are assuming some level of FHS or XDG compatibility, neither of which are Windows things.

If you’re on a mac, macOS uses its own thing but can play well with dotdirs. However, you’ll find a mix of assuming XDG and weird macOS storage locations depending on how the tool determines storage location priority.

If you’re on Linux, there are too many standards.

They are using windows wrong, put everything on the desktop and don't worry about all those scary files everywhere else.

/S

The guidelines for Windows developers kinda suck tbh. Maybe it's better these days, but plenty of weird legacy software behaviour can be blamed on MSDN.

.android is either from the Android SDK, or possibly Android Studio so blame either Google or IntelliJ. .vscode is Visual Studio Code which is made by Microsoft so your guess is as good as mine on that one. .eclipse is Eclipse and is a Java IDE approximately the age of dirt and might actually pre-date the AppData folder existing. .ssh is OpenSSH and has been around long enough on the *nix side of things that it might pre-date both AppData and the XDG folder conventions. Not sure about most of the rest.

Files and directories starting with a dot are hiden by default. You are aksing for this stuff if you manually unhide them.

This is why i never use the default folders, I will always make my own elsewhere.

[–] MaggiWuerze@feddit.org -1 points 1 day ago (6 children)

I mean... those are hidden by default

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 17 points 1 day ago

still. it's the year 2025. XDG_CONFIG should be the standard assumption

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 day ago

Who actually keeps hidden folders hidden? It's like the first box I check when I open a file explorer for the first time.

[–] Aatube@kbin.melroy.org 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't think so. If they were, they'd look shaded like the AppData folder does.

[–] MaggiWuerze@feddit.org -1 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

They have a dot in front. Means they are not shown my default, not even in cli
