possible to change default ignore file location? (windows)

[YouSame2]

i was wondering if its possible to change the default location fd looks for the ignore file? or even make a specific config file for fd. i use both mac and windows and love to keep everything in my .config file. but on windows fd's default location is: %APPDATA%/fd/ignore

anyone know if its possible to change that to ~/.config/fd/ignore like on mac??

i tried changing env variable but this didnt work:
export XDG_CONFIG_HOME=$HOME

Keep the ignore file in ~/.config/fd/ignore on both machines and point the Windows path at it. From cmd:

mkdir %APPDATA%\fd
mklink %APPDATA%\fd\ignore %USERPROFILE%\.config\fd\ignore

mklink wants Developer Mode or an elevated cmd. fd doesn't have a config file that changes the default path, and XDG_CONFIG_HOME is ignored on Windows, so that export never moves it. If you'd rather not symlink, fd --ignore-file ~/.config/fd/ignore loads the same file, and you can alias it.
