Description
Hi, I’ve noticed that you use hard-coded paths to $HOME/.local/share/winapps, $HOME/.config/winapps etc.. Can you maybe change those to ${XDG_DATA_HOME:-"$HOME/.local/share"}/winapps, ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-"$HOME/.config"}/winapps etc. to conform to the XDG Base Directory Specification? See https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/latest/.
