Do not automatically create a storage folder in the way that is currently done (on Linux)

Describe the requested feature

With the implementation of FLET_APP_STORAGE_DATA, flet started to create a folder for storage data. While I understand why the current solution is sub-optimal. (Not to say an absolute no go)

For me (on Linux) the folder seems to be created in the current user's document folder (I have tried to look in the flet source to find the logic behind this, but have not managed to find the relevant parts). Many Linux users (myself included) really dislike applications that litter the home directory like this. $HOME/Documents is there for users to (voluntarily) put files there, not for some random application to put data there.

Suggest a solution

Personally, I see two options here:

• Allow flet app developers to manually set the FLET_APP_STORAGE_DATA path. This would allow them to add some kind of interaction for the user to agree (complicated to implement, might conflict with writing platform independent apps).
• Use XDG_DATA_HOME and default to $HOME/.local/share if not set. This would be the recommended path according to the XDG Base Directory Specification (Would prefer)

No response

Additional details

Other environment variables such as FLET_APP_STORAGE_TEMP already seem to xdg honour the specification correctly.

That makes sense, thank you for the suggestion!
