history.txt file is written to current directory

[wezm]

Whenever eva is run it writes a history.txt into the current directory. This results in a lot of these files lying around my system. I would prefer if eva used a central history file stored in the appropriate place on the given operating system (The directories crate can help with that).

I have used the dirs crate, and now history is stored in the home directory. back when rustyline was in version 3.x, it was not possible to save to a path!

if you have any suggestions regarding the location for the history file, let me know!

thank you for your contributions.

Great, thanks for the quick fix!

I don't think the home directory is the right place for the history. Reading the XDG Base Directory Specification I would suggest using XDG_DATA_HOME, which corresponds to data_dir in directories.
