Enumerates the standard location type.

Is used to call StandardPaths::writable location and StandardPaths::find_executable_in_paths.

Some of the values are used to acquire user-specific paths, some are application-specific and some are system-wide.

Variants

HomeLocation

The user's home directory.

• On Linux systems it's equal to the $HOME environment variable.
• On the last Windows operating systems it's equal to the %HomePath% environment variable.

DesktopLocation

The user's desktop directory.

DocumentsLocation

The user's documents directory.

DownloadLocation

The directory for the user's downloaded files.

This is a generic value. On Windows if no such directory exists, the directory for storing user documents is returned.

MoviesLocation

The user's movies and videos directory.

MusicLocation

The user's music, recordings and other audio files directory.

PicturesLocation

The user's pictures, photos and screenshots directory.

ApplicationsLocation

The user's applications directory.

It might contain either executables, desktop files, or shortcuts.

It's a platform-specific value.

FontsLocation

The user's fonts directory.

RuntimeLocation

The directory for the runtime communication files (like Unix local sockets).

This is a generic value. It could returns None on some systems.

TempLocation

A directory for storing temporary files.

It might be application-specific, user-specific or system-wide.

GenericDataLocation

The directory for the persistent data shared across applications.

This is a generic value.

AppDataLocation

The persistent application data directory.

This is an application-specific directory. On the Windows operating system, this returns the roaming path.

AppLocalDataLocation

The local settings directory.

This is a Windows-specific value. On all other platforms, it returns the same value as AppDataLocation.

GenericCacheLocation

The directory for the user-specific cached data shared across applications.

This is a generic value. It could returns None from the appropriate methods if the system has no concept of shared cache.

AppCacheLocation

The user-specific cached data directory.

This is an application-specific directory.

ConfigLocation

The user-specific configuration files directory.

This may be either a generic value or application-specific.

GenericConfigLocation

The user-specific configuration files directory. shared between multiple applications.

This is a generic value.

AppConfigLocation

The user-specific configuration files directory.

This is an application-specific value.

Trait Implementations

impl Debug for LocationType

fn fmt(&self, __arg_0: &mut Formatter) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Clone for LocationType

fn clone(&self) -> LocationType

Returns a copy of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl PartialEq for LocationType

fn eq(&self, __arg_0: &LocationType) -> bool

This method tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

This method tests for !=.
