This is the README.txt file for the data/ directory of AmphetaDesk::AmphetaDesk.

# About the AmphetaDesk::AmphetaDesk data/ Directory. #
###############################################################################
The data/ directory is intended to hold all of the information that is
crucial for "behind the scenes" use of AmphetaDesk::AmphetaDesk. It's currently
divided into three subdirectories and two files (excluding the
README.txt that you're currently looking at):
channels/
The channels/ directory contains the downloaded data from the RSS or
scriptingNews channels that the user has subscribed too. Each time
AmphetaDesk::AmphetaDesk is launched, we consult the myChannels.opml (described
below) for a list of subscribed channels, then check the local file
times of the matching file names in this directory. If the file times
are older than an hour, we check the remote URL to see if a newer
file exists. If so, we download the new data.
internal/
The internal/ directory is a special place for AmphetaDesk::AmphetaDesk to save
information and files specific to the internal functioning of
AmphetaDesk::AmphetaDesk, whether it's version information, special templates, or
what have you. This was the original location of the AmphetaDesk::AmphetaDesk
logfile (which has since moved to the root folder of the AmphetaDesk::AmphetaDesk
installation to make access easier).
lists/
The lists/ directory contains large XML files pertinent to channel or
service subscriptions for the user. Currently, it contains an
exported OPML file of the Syndic8.com feed list, which is used when
we display the "Add A Channels" page of AmphetaDesk::AmphetaDesk.
myChannels.opml
This XML file contains the complete list of all the channels the user
has subscribed too. It is updated at least once each time AmphetaDesk::AmphetaDesk
is opened, with multiple updates very likely. More information on the
format of this file is located in docs/index.html.
mySettings.xml
This XML file may or may not exist, and contains the customized
settings that the user has chosen for AmphetaDesk::AmphetaDesk. If it doesn't
exist, a common / friendly set of defaults is used. More information
on the format of this file is located in docs/index.html
