Add option to store data base in current executable directory instead of a new 'c:\temp' hack #36

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 

I'm not happy with the requirement of creating a new folder just for the 
data base file. We already discussed it but I didn't get an answer. Can you 
help out, at least add a sensible default under Windows, rather than just 
closing?

I'm clearly not the only one, see the reported issue here:

It would have avoided all the hassle of creating new directories. I've 
never heard  about such OS conventions on Windows, where can I read more 
about those conventions?

What is the real problem of simply putting the database in the same 
directory?
