@silverwizard @mhoye 1) not ideal maybe 2) yes 3) 4) no - there was one contributor reacting not very helpfully, but overall the reaction to the report went into the right direction and quickly so.
Also I wasn't poking at "being annoyed", I was poking at all the conjecture about intent and outrage, ask the huge noise being made over this (at least many outraged and well populated toots made it into my timeline, a perfectly objective measure of scale of outrage of course).

@mhoye It's hilarious that everyone is still ranting about this (with a questionable spin on things) while upstream already implemented and backported a restriction of the usage of the parameter in question to prevent this (deleting home) from happening and clarification for the intended use-case. Which is not at all freeing up space by deleting tempfiles. Yes the tool's name is misleading, but if you ever maintained a sizeable project you should be able to relate to not wanting to rename.

@mhoye You may chose to believe that, the convo in the bug report and actions beg to differ. Sure the original state was bad, but it's clear there was nothing intentional or systematic about it. Like actually considering /home as temporary and wanting to purge it, as it widely insinuated. Anyway, I doubt there are any open minds in this discussions, si bit much point having them (yeah I realise that's inconsistent with me answering, I can't help it and don't claim to be fully rational (or close to) :) ).

@mhoye Yeah it is "right", as that's always in the eye of the beholder: You do want to purge user files if there user really wants to, e.g. application data when purge uninstalling that application. And it's super unlikely that anyone ever wants to do that with everything on their system, i.e. using it without a config file like the original reporter did. And now doing that is disallowed. I don't defend the original state as being good or anything, it's just ridiculous how people conflate nit being aware of/ignoring a problematic possible (mis)use of a tool with a conspiracy of systematic intention of harming userspace.
Oh and yes, Luca's communication here (not dating it's the only time) is not conductive of a constructive discussion (to put it mildly) - if that was what you all were complaining about, that would make a lot more sense. -

@annika Thanks, nice to hear you like it!
One thing I noticed: Maybe it shoud include a qualifier like "It is used to track data like common platforms, [...]". Currently that could be interpreted that it's reporting just this data, which clearly is not the case as seen in the example report below. Am I overthinking this? :)

@forteller @mtjm You are not supposed to edit that file, it's in the web UI: There's one global configuration which applies to the location of the database in the main config dialog (actions > settings > general). Then there's the same config for wherever your shared folders reside in the individual folder's advanced settings. And even if it wasn't in the normal controls in the web UI, you can edit (almost) all configuration through the advanced config dialog (actions > advanced).

@puniko @martinsteiger Hier ists aber soweit ich weiss kein Mangel an verfügbaren Personal, sondern ein Mangel von bewilligten Stellen - Berwerberinnen für Gerichtsstellen gebe es viele. Also natürlich kann man nicht einfach heute viele neue anstellen und die sind dann produktiv, aber wenn man halt nie beginnt wirds auch nicht besser. Zugegebenermassen ist das nur Hörensagen bei mir. Martin kann vielleicht sagen ob ich hier völlig daneben liege oder nicht?
