Settings files pollute user's global namespace #5

Open breyed opened 10 years ago

Web Essentials creates a folder for its settings in %USERPROFILE%\Web Essentials. This is equivalent to a user's global namespace.

Since Web Essentials' settings are fit for sharing among roaming profiles, they should live in %APPDATA%\Web Essentials.

Or perhaps make it optional?

breyed commented 10 years ago

Options are expensive. More documentation, larger test matrix, steeper learning curve. Options make sense when there are compelling reasons for each option.

Yes, of course. Good idea. And you're right. No options for this is needed
