Description
On Windows, applications should not be creating folders/files directly in %USERPROFILE%
. The proper location for configuration files is %APPDATA%<vendor><product> and the proper location for cache files is %LOCALAPPDATA%\<vendor>\<product>
. Things should only be added to %USERPROFILE%
if the user explicitly requests it via a save dialog box.
Please move %USERPROFILE%\.librarymanager
to %APPDATA%\librarymanager
as the default location. The fact that configuration files should go in %APPDATA%
is well documented in Microsoft's OS documentation in a number of places as well as MSDN. Also, in Windows folders should not be named with a . prefix as Windows explorer doesn't allow creation of folders with that name which leads to problems.
