User Selectable Download Locations

Open Starnsworth opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Currently the launcher has two seperate locations for OpenRCT and OpenLoco projects, as dictated by the GetLocation function and lines 9 & 10 in \IntelOrca.OpenLauncher.Core\Game.cs.

Seperation between my documents and application data seems arbitrary as a test build had success when modifing the constructor for OpenLoco object.

Recommend allowing user selectable download location using '\documents\OpenLauncher<game>" as the default entry as opposed to hard-coded locations.

I will attempt a fix but am unfamilier with avaloniaUI and the way text is being handled.

This separation is not arbitrary at all: executables do not belong in My Documents for several reasons, one of them being that they’re machine-specific and don’t play nice when syncing files across machines.

They don’t belong in Roaming Appdata either, which is why the OpenLauncher now places all executables in Local Appdata.
