tesseract_opencl_profile_devices.dat

I assume that this file created by Tesseract, text recognition library.
But I can't reproduce this issue on my machine, so I think it's related to the tesseract configuration on your distro.

Newly created configuration or cache files should be placed in ~/.config, ~/.cache, or an XDG-compliant folder, not directly in the user's home directory.

Thanks for the reply, I will report this issue to the openSUSE maintainers.

We put program configuraltion in ~/.config. But this file is not related to Crow Translate. The problem is in the Tesseract library that somehow configured to put data in your user folder. I don't have this issue on my machine with tesseract 5.3.2 and crow-translate 2.10.7.

I remember that I submitted an issue, but I never received replies from maintainers.

After that, I switched to using the package provided by flathub.
