Question about config/data file management

Hello @kde@floss.social ,

I'm trying to upgrade how I synchronise configuration, data and state file using chezmoi. Everything was going well until I tried to manage KDE data. I want to synchronise UserFeedback settings (as I think an opt-in user feedback can do good thing), but I don't want to synchronize UserFeedback data !

It seems that right now, application store analytic settings and data in the same file (which is in ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME} directory), like dolphin, which store these things in kde.org/UserFeedback.org.kde.dolphin.conf.
Is it possible to separate settings and data (for example dolphin's analytic settings in ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/dolphin/UserFeedback.conf and analytics data in${XDG_STATE_HOME}/dolphin/userfeedback, allowing ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/dolphin to also storedolphinrc) ?

Question about config/data file management

Thank you for the answer. Do you know any KDE application that does it ? It will greatly help me to make a patch. Seems like KUserFeedback itself use a config object. Does that mean that dolphin analytics can only be stored in the same place as every other analytics using the lib ? And finally do these type of question should be asked here, in the matrix or in the mailing list ? Sorry, I’m a little lost.
