Where Is the Devilspie Config Folder?

Original Devilspie s-expression scripts with system dir.

Last updated

Original Devilspie reads s-expression scripts from a home dot folder with system defaults beside. Ubuntu wiki plus man pages pin the pair exactly.

Sequel uses Lua elsewhere with its own post. Match the generation.

Frequently asked questions

How do I back up Devilspie?

Copy the home scripts folder with the daemon stopped. Every s-expression file travels together. Restoring means putting the folder back.

Lua scripts too?

Original uses s-expressions while the sequel uses Lua with different folders. Wiki plus man pages pin both generations. Never mix their trees.
