WalletWasabi: Wasabi stores state in incorrect directory path on macOS

@MaxHillebrand adhering to XDG standard is better since it makes it less cluttery on the homedir of the user…

FWIW it’s supposed to be ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/walletwasabi on linux. This means it should be defaulting to $HOME/.config/walletwasabi in the case where the user has not set $XDG_CONFIG_HOME to something else.

Wasabi still stores the app settings/state in the wrong directory on macOS.

On my mac .config folder contains mainly config or XML files only.

$HOME/Library/Application Support/Wasabi Wallet is user-dependent?

Moving the whole folder can cause a lot of problems for us - like what if I can move only half of the folder because something is used by other processes, that would break the software. So I am generally against this if there are no issues regarding this. I found many other Softwares doing the same as we are doing now, like Nuget, VSCode.

This thread aside, GnuPG is not a very good example of well-designed or well-behaved software. Most of its fundamental decisions are rooted in thinking that’s >20 years old, including oftentimes ones that could and should have been revisited since.

The majority of well-behaved desktop software supports and respects XDG.
