Arbitrary place for storing tessdata?

[umireon]

Background

I want to provide this plugin with my tessdata directory path for text recognition in a language other than English.

The current implementation uses the plugin's module directory, and I have to place jpn.traineddata under the ocr directory for Japanese recognition.
However, the custom tessdata models will be wiped each time I update avdss on Mac because it is inside the plugin bundle.

Solution

I hope to clone tessdata somewhere in the user directory and instruct the plugin to refer to the cloned directory.

I can make a PR to implement this if it is OK.

Alternatives

The first time the plugin starts, it automatically clones test data from GitHub and places the plugin's config directory, but this would be considered excessive as a startup process.

Anything else we should know?
