MCEControl.commands location - move to %APPDATA%? #6

Closed wayner9 closed 5 years ago

The commands files is stored in the same folder as the exe which is likely:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Kindel Systems\MCE Controller, or C:\Program Files\Kindel Systems\MCE Controller

Isn't it now frowned upon to store config files in this location? Therefore shouldn't this file be stored in the %APPDATA% folder - just like the settings file.

V2 Beta 2 addresses this:

If mcecontrol.exe is run from the \Program Files directory where the installer put it, the .settings, .commands, and .log files will be accessed from %APPDATA%.

If mcecontrol.exe is run from any other directory, that directory will be used for the .settings, .commands, and .log files.

I'll be uploading the Beta 2 release soon.
