Hi! The readme indicates that the config file is installed at ~/.cover-thumbnailer/cover-thumbnailer.conf. I was wondering if this was still accurate, and if it was possible to read config files from $XDG_CONFIG_DIR/cover-thumnailer/cover-thumbnailer.conf or other hardcoded locations like ~/.config/cover-thumbnailer/cover-thumbnailer.conf

I know you use XDG directories for finding the music and pictures folders, thought it might just be out-of-date documentation?

Hello,

Cover Thumbnailer uses XDG dirs only to discover Music and Pictures folders. The path to the config file is hardcoded in both scripts (thumbnailer and gui).

As this project is in "maintenance" mode, I will not update this behavior: I have no time to work on this software.

But if someone submit a PR to change this, I will be happy to merge it, as long as it does not add any dependencies and keep reading config from the old location if the new one does not exist.

:)

No worries, I'll take a look at it :)
