[Konsole-devel] Idea: Organize user data in a hierarchical way

"User data" means profiles, colorschemes and keybindings. It is strange
that those data files are well organized in our source code, but
installed in a flat way under /usr/share/apps/konsole. Although the
location make no difference to most users, I think that flat way is
cluttered and not friendly for future changes.
One of the "future changes" is the GHNS support for colorschemes. I like
that idea. There are already some konsole colorschemes scattered around
in kde-look.org and other places. If we add that support, I guess users
will happily share and create more colorschemes. It is better to put all
colorschemes into its own sub-folder.
I'm not suggesting we should do it now or soon. Actually, writing new
code is the least thing I want to do for Konsole at this moment.
So to sum up:
1). move/put those data files into its own sub-folders: "./profiles",
"./colorschemes", and "keyboard-layouts".
2). add GHNS support for colorschemes; I guess most people are not
interested with downloading and using profiles and keyindings from Internet.
Any thoughts?
Regards
Jekyll
