Sync program data through Nextcloud about dosage

[diegopvlk]

the settings and program data placed in the root of ~/.local/share

That's a AUR issue, not a flatpak/snap. If that's a problem for you, use the official packages.
I won't change in the code, sorry.

The official packages are flatpak and snap.
The folders are ~/.var/app/io.github.diegopvlk.Dosage/data and ~/snap/dosage-tracker/current/.local/share.
And it's not configurable.

Why not just use a symbolic link?

I use, but

"the settings and program data placed in the root of ~/.local/share dir" ... "file-by-file"

The changeable directory is not the primary question of this issue. I do not know exactly how much effort to change it to a specific dir inside the ~/.local/share. It can be hardened in the code. If it is a lot, then forget the question.

The soft links sadly, does not work for a non-flatpak version. The program replaces the json files on each changes...

Today, I had an hour to play with this. And just to clarify: it is NOT an AUR issue. So, if anybody, who wants to sync w/o flatpak and who has a little programming skills: change the DataDir in utils.js:55 or change the location of the files in window.js:80. (The version in this post's date is the 1.6.0)

After this you can build the files by yourself in the GNOME Builder. You welcome. 🥳

OK, I tried the flatpak version w/ soft-links and w/ mount binding also to my cloud service.

But this application does not sync the changes on runtime. Instead of this, overwrite everything what changed on another machine. :( So, sadly, the cloud sync does completely not work.
