[opensuse-gnome] Data and settings for Evolution 2.32
Where are the Evolution 2.32 data files? I started to back up the settings manually but realized the old directory (~/.evolution) is empty. Where is the data kept now?

They are now in the .local folder [along with all the other stuff] in accordance with the XDG Base Directory Specification. http://mail.gnome.org/archives/evolution-hackers/2010-June/msg00000.html -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org

Let's see if I'm clear. I should be able to get a full backup of Evolution with the directories ~/.local/share/evolution ~/.config/evolution ~/.cache/evolution .evolution and .gconf/apps/evolution are obsolete. What's the reason for the new spec? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org

~/.local/share/evolution ~/.config/evolution ~/.cache/evolution
.evolution and .gconf/apps/evolution are obsolete.
In case everything has been moved properly and if you don't see any problem, ~/.evolution directory can be removed. gconf is still used to store account related information for Evolution so you will need to take backup of .gconf/apps/evolution.
What's the reason for the new spec?
To follow the standard basedir guidelines. - Akhil

Why not use the backup option provided *in Evolution*? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org
