3.10. Files

Here is a list of files that Aqualung creates, reads and relies on.

$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/aqualung/

Directory containing user settings. $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is the user-specific directory for application configuration information according to the XDG Base Directory Specification. It is most likely equivalent to ~/.config, so the following config files (except the last one, which resides in a system-wide location) are usually found under $HOME/.config/aqualung/

Note: earlier versions of Aqualung kept these per-user configuration files in ~/.aqualung. This legacy setup is recognized and silently migrated to the XDG-conformant layout.

config.xml

GUI (skin, window size/position, etc.) and other settings.

plugin.xml

List of running plugins and all their settings.

playlist.xml

Automatically saved and restored playlist (if you enable this feature).

<skin-name>

Locally available skin <skin-name> (useful for skin development).

${prefix}/share/aqualung/skin

System-wide skin directory.
