Why Can't Application User Data be Stored in My DocumentsProfilesApplication Data
Google Search It
After recently re-installing my laptop I tried to move the location of Radio. This was an extremely frustrating experience, however. I went to the Files/Folders and updated the location of my www folder. Unfortunately, I didn't quite have the path correct and as a result everything stopped working. The worst thing about this was that I could no longer access the Files/Folders location to correct the path. Yuck! Furthermore, I couldn't move the data to the specified path because the issue was that I was missing a trailing backslash. Uggggg! I tried searching the Radio Userland folder for where the path was stored but I couldn't find it anywhere. To get things working again I had to restore an old copy of the entire Radio Userland folder.
As I continued to look in to this issue it occurs to me that there is a significant amount of user configuration data that is stored in the Radio Userland program folder, not just the www folder. As a result if two people share the same computer they actually have to have separate instances of the entire program. This is just silly. Why can't user configuration data be stored in the user profile location (My DocumentsProfilesApplication Data). Even the registry would be better than the current choice.
