when u uninstall transmission, the settings file is not deleted, or all the /home/osmc/.config/transmission-daemon/ folder.
I think it should be deleted when u uninstall because if you are uninstalling for a problem (specially newbies like me) and then reinstalling the settings will be the same.
It’s not Debian like to remove configuration files under the standard remove command. With that said, I know we sometimes set up configuration files in postinst (TVHeadend, if memory serves) which is a bit cheeky. We should instead do it the right way and mark as a conffile.
I think Sam might have angry people banging on his door if people started losing their config files just because they uninstalled a program. Settings should stick around until someone removes them, I say. You’ve been using Windows too long, maybe?
