Recent Sketches reset?

And once again, all past recent documents are gone.

I realize this has to do with appimage foo, but XDG standardpaths is a thing. Sigh.

I’m an application maintainer myself so i speak not just from the vantage of an annoyed user.

Recent sketches get intentionally reset after each update:

Why it was done this way, I don’t know. This is the first time someone asked about it,
and the fix probably is easy.

It has nothing to do with XDG standardpaths.

I believe that intentionally doing it would border on being an insult.

I just looked it up and it appears as if you CAN use XDG paths and I don’t understand why one would not?

I’m currently working on 6 concurrent projects and now have to go and hunt and peck. It’s not the end of the world, but it throws me off my stride.

EDIT: for reference, fritzing goes with

~/.config/Fritzing/

Which will work with $HOME or $XDG_CONFIG_HOME using QT standardpaths.
