Bug Description

Not so much a bug as a request, but instead of cluttering my home folder with save files can the maintainer of this package build with the --use-home-dir build flag so that save files are saved in ~/.powder/

Thanks for reporting this issue and making Ubuntu better.

I can confirm that powder version 117-1 on Ubuntu Raring stores save files etc directly in the home directory rather than a directory like~/.powder/.

Looks like The Powder Toy is a different project than powder. I've removed the links on the overview page, but I don't know how (and I probably don't I have the rights) to mark this bug as no longer affecting The Powder Toy.
