If there's no `Desktop` +directory, it uses just `~/annex`. And if run from some other place than +the home directory, it assumes you want to use cwd. Of course, you can +change this default, but I think it's a good one for most use cases. + +---- + +My work today has all been on making **one second** of the total lifetime +of the WebApp work. It's the very tricky second in between clicking on +"Make repository" and being redirected to a WebApp running in your new +repository. The trickiness involves threads, and MVars, and +multiple web servers, and I don't want to go into details here. +I'd rather forget. ;-) + +Anyway, it works; you can run "git annex webapp" and be walked right +through to having a usable repository! Now I need to see about adding +that to the desktop menus, and making "git annex webapp", when run a second +time, remembering where your repository is. I'll use +`~/.config/git-annex/repository` for storing that. -- cgit v1.2.3
