my .local/share/Empathy does not disobey any of this two points with empathy 2.30 in Lucid so I will consider this bug is already fixed so will mark this invalid

Omer, I am confused. What is the path on Lucid

.local/share/Empathy or .local/share/empathy? Reading your answer it seems to be the former, but your comment says otherwise.

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

in Lucid its .local/share/Empathy (the capital 'E' in empathy)

Can you re-open the bug please, Linux ain't not Mac and Windows. The naming convention is

Title in minuscule letters
Title with no space

/Empathy => /empathy

Why should be empathy one of the only software bringing confusion in the user's local profile.

I use the command line, if I have to remember what name starts with a capital or a small letter, it's not productive.

Thanks
