Please, do NOT take my nagging about changing ini location as any PRO-Argument to put it to APPDATA. Really, absolutely every game I have stores them there, and it was the only clever way to go. My Documents is also the path were ALL GAMES for Windows store their config files and savegames. My intention was to bring convenience to a new level by making a somewhat revolutionary suggestion, to store config and savegames the SAME WAY as on the MAC, namely the documents folder. The majority of other Windows software you use, are keeping their config files in the same spot. What? Keep in mind we're talking about the configuration file here, not savegames. The 'My Documents' folder will not be used, since it only meant for user created files.Īnd we will never use the registry for configuration data!ĪPPDATA is in no way suitable or cleverer than C:\Windows The application folder can't be used, since it could be write protected on multi-user systems.

Please understand that I think that ScummVM is a really great application, and perhaps these things aren't important for users on other OS-ses, but it would seem so logical to use the app dir for a config file.Īnd please do NOT use windows registry for this! No SCUMMVM folders in MY Ducuments folder please (Installer can ask to keep or remove saved games and scummvm ini on uninstall If the next scummvm goes on using "My Documents" for it's ini I might consider compiling my personal version where the scummvm ini file will be located in the SCUMMVM root folder. Using command lines is something for the Linix crowd (no offence intended) Please use the appdir and not My Documents, that's a special folder where users put their own created documents like spreadsheets, saved project files, and other stuff. Savegames I would like to see be put in app app folder/save. It's the same reason an SDL.dll should be in the appfolder. not very modern (seem to originate from another OS it seems) unneccecary putting files in the Windows folder. I consider putting something like an ini in the findows dir: Save files and ini files belong in the app folder, as I consider both generated by and used exclusivly by the app (ScummVM) My documents I like to keep clean because it will be my documents that go there, sot some funny save files. Savegames and scummvm.ini should be in the application folder by default, not My Documents, or the windows folder, let me try to explain (again). Eek, personally I think this (and tried to discuss it before):
