“error opening config file” is not an error #2

Closed

How to reproduce: Create ~/.config/hkd/config and run hkd.

“error opening config file” gets printed although hkd works fine. A better message would be: “info: environment variable $XDG_CONFIG_HOME not set: falling back to ~/.config.” However, it would be even better to follow the rule of silence and print no message.

closing #2: made the program silent turned off the "error" messages by default and using the -v flag to turn them back on as they are not useful for normal use, also now those messages are printed to stdout

you're right, I didn't know about the rule of silence before and the "error" messages are not useful apart from debugging.
I made it so that all the messages are disabled by default and -v turns them back on.
