dev: reduce the amout of automatically generated directories named "colrev"
After installation of CoLRev according to the readthedocs manual, there are three different directories named "colrev"
-
in the $HOME directory of the current user. This $HOME/colrev/ directory seems to function as a temp directory. It contains the following:
- two hidden directories: ".colrev_temp" and ".tei_index"
- one .sqlite file: "prep_requests_cache.sqlite"
- one .json file: "registry.json"
- the .sqlite and .json file might be specific to my setup. The two hidden directories will always be created
- possible solution: change this directory into a hidden one e.g. $HOME/.colrev/
-
on the Desktop (default installation path according to readthedocs instructions) is a colrev directory within colrev. $HOME/Desktop/colrev/colrev
- the first colrev directory is created due to git clone (automatically) onto the Desktop
- suggestion: change the nested colrev directory into src or something similar
- current: $HOME/Desktop/colrev/colrev/
- possible solution: $HOME/Desktop/colrev/src/
