Minor UI Changes and App Restart (in debug mode) is yet to be done. Reopen it once the base functionality is tested.

It doesn't remove the app data directories and files from old location.

App will restart when current instance quits. Instance will quit when all windows are closed.

vrlk commented 8 years ago

Put two options in setting:

  1. Change and Move - Change the location of App data as well move current data to the new location
  2. Select Existing - Do not move current data to this selected new location. Instead load the data from the selected location and set that location.

Cancel on Open dialog from Starting Screen should exit the app

  1. When 'Change and Move' the location, it takes some time to restart. So put a processing dialogue box stating 'Restarting App' and round processing gif.
  2. While app is running and location is not available, it shows choose path system dialogue box. Closing that box using X button should quit the app and not open the another dialogue box to select the location.

make it : "Restarting App. Please Wait.."
