Review of the location of ultra-tracker files on personal computers #187

Post Bear 100 2024 - 1.0.2 Location of ultra-tracker.exe, DB, CSV, Incremental, update.exe and backup files seems scattered and confusing to work with during the race. (installer.exe in C:\Users\brian\AppData\Local\ultra-tracker-updater)

Should all files be located in a single dir structure? (c:/users/public/... as easily shareable location) Should the application be portable (shipped in a zip or tgz file) without an installer? Should they all be prefixed with UL or ul or UT as to signify they are part of the ultra-tracker application? So they are all together in each folder when sorted by name? C:/users/me-user/documents is not very shareable.

.../ultra-tracker .../ultra-tracker/bin .../ultra-tracker/config .../ultra-tracker/to-upload .../ultra-tracker/logs

Is the update ultra-tracker.exe necessary? Is the update installer.exe necessary?
