behavior for .zwc files

[DrakeAxelrod]

I don't know if its the the intended behavior of znap to put all the .zwc files in whatever dir the standard file is located. if it is not then I probably messed up the install trying to keep my settings etc. If it is the intended behavior I would suggest maybe a folder inside the zsh-snap folder that stores these files, simply so that if like me you split up your zsh files you dont have duplicate .zwc files all over your zsh dir.

Yes, that is the intended behavior.

That's unfortunately not possible. For almost all cases, the compiled .zwc file needs to be in the same dir as the source file. (The only exception is functions loaded through the $fpath. For those, you can compile a digest of all functions in an $fpath dir, but even then, the digest needs to be located in the same parent dir.)

if like me you split up your zsh files you dont have duplicate .zwc files all over your zsh dir.

If you don't want .zwc files to be generated for your dotfiles, you can exclude them by adding something like this to your .zshrc file:

zstyle ':znap:*' auto-compile-ignore "${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.z*"

This is also explained in the Readme.
