Please use Windows /temp folders for temporary files - move them out of /Documents #1136

YES! Argh I cannot tell you how much it BUGS me that this presumptuously dumps all its config into my Documents folder. At the very least it could use Documents\My Games, but should probably use AppData rather than Temp if going that route.

At this rate I think I'm just gonna uninstall, that might seem harsh over a trivial issue but I'm not exactly serious with the game, and it really is annoying.

I'm ok with it using Documents or Documents/My Games for "user settings", but temp files the macro generates should not be in Documents nor Documents/My Games.

Eruyome commented 4 years ago

What temporary files are you talking about? The ones inside the macros mainfolder\temp?

dsnvwlmnt commented 4 years ago

Any temporary files. I'm guessing that's what I was referring to given that it's called temp, but I don't recall. If there are other temp folders those can go too.
