Configuration folder

    I am playing with Woopra client (version 1.2) on my Linux box (Ubuntu 8.04) and I spotted that Woopra saves its configuration files into the ~/Woopra folder (where ~ is the home folder). What's wrong with that? It's a common Unix practice to save configuration files into the hidden folders (in this case that would be ~/.Woopra) - or better - into the ~/.config/ folder. Creating visible folder right in the home folder is really annonying (especially if you are trying to keep it tidy).
    Isn't there any hidden parameter for Woopra launcher to change its config folder or is there at least chance for fix of this issue in the future versions?
    Thanks.

    I have the same question too.. Is there a way to change the location of Woopra folder in my Home folder? Or even make it hidden folder somehow? It's really annoying having a folder that I never use in my home location. The friend above asked if there is chance to fix that issue in future versions, but there is no answer to his question for a year now, so I suppose you are not planning to change it? (I'm running woopra on Mac OS)
    Thanks!

    There is currently no way to change the file locations. We have this on the list of suggestions, so thanks for your input.

    I'm using a Mac and I'd also like to have the option to move it out of my home folder. Common practice for Mac apps would have it in the ~/Library/Application Support/Woopra folder...

    Common practice puts the key, backupable files for the program in the appropriate directory so they are backed up when you backup your documents and other critical information. The program files are stored in the application area.
