Prefix handling is wierd

[aviau]

Hey, thanks for the app!

So this is my dotfiles folder:

~/git/dotfiles
├── .tmux.conf
├── .something_else.conf
└── bin
   └── some_script

With the "prefix = . " option set, Dotfiles links "bin" to "~/.in".

I would like it to detect that "bin" does not start with "." (or whatever my specified prefix is) and should be linked to "~/bin"

I insist that my dotfiles folder should keep this format.

Thanks!

Hmm... I see what you're saying. I'm only concerned about the default-prefix case, there will be no way to indicate this kind of setup. Maybe a untranslated = [ 'bin', 'etc...' ] section in the config file that tells dotfiles not to apply any prefix and just create the symlink. Yeah, I think that would work.

I think this would make the config file too complicated to maintain.

[jbernard]

That's fair, you're suggesting auto detection?

[aviau]

Yes.

I also have issues with packages.

When I put ".config" in my packages list, "dotfiles/.config/awesome" links to "..config/wesome".
when I put "config" in my packages list, .config is no longer recognized as a package.

I will try to find time to work on this issue soon.

This should all be resolved now in master, new major release coming shortly.
