Config files are created in home directory

[DinoVeVe]

I am using EndeavourOS (Arch Linux) and the .ColorGrab config directory is being created in $HOME for me. I would expect ColorGrab to respect the XDG_CONFIG_HOME variable and place it under $HOME/.config.

I have found the following wxWidgets documentation page that suggests that the expected behaviour is what should happen: Using XDG-compliant Config Files.

Theory: Given that that page was posted in January this year, perhaps the wxWidgets dependency needs to be updated?

From the link it seems this issue will mostly fix itself when wxWidgets 3.3.0 is released. This hasn't happened yet, but when it does it's up to the various Linux distros to update their wxWidgets packages. Like most C and C++ projects, ColorGrab doesn't specify specific versions of its dependencies but will use the version of wsWidgets installed on the system already.
I wasn't aware of SetFileLayout(wxStandardPaths::FileLayout_XDG), if I had been I would have used it from the start.
