config file named $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/.config/ghostty errors, Ghostty expects directory

[pdeva]

this is my config file inside ghostty itself

however this results in this error

my config-file at the location specified is completely empty btw.
my initial thinking was to have the theme inside my custom config file too. but upon seeing the error, i moved the theme declaration to ghostty's own config file. yet i am seeing this error.

is there no way for ghostty to load themes from its default location when using a custom config file location?

Ahhhhhhh. I think this is a regression from a recent change to detect directories. cc @jcollie I haven't verified it yet.

[pdeva]

it seems it goes away if i rename my config file to anything other than ghostty. i renamed it to ghostty-config and now it works fine.

Oh, no this is probably unrelated to @jcollie's changes. I think you just can't have a custom config file named $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/.config/ghostty. Hah!

This is off topic for this discussion. There is a dedicated and closed issue you can add your opinions if you’d like. I’m happy to explain more there!
