Don't put settings into the Documents folder

Open placoderm opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Great App!

I noticed that a folder has been created in my Documents folder to hold settings for the app. This is not the proper place to store settings (or honestly anything from any app, but that part is just my opinion).

I'm not experienced with writing windows apps, but I'm sure there is a better place than the user's doucments folder to be putting the settings.

Thanks!!

There's a place called App Data which might work: %APPDATA% == (by default points to: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming)

Or Local App Data: %LOCALAPPDATA% == (by default points to: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local)
