Hi. Is there any chance you'll consider moving where IDLE stores its app settings files under Windows? It's currently dumping them directly into the user's folder root, Unix style, in ".idlerc". This isn't how things are supposed to be done in Windows - it should be in the application data special folder, retrieved through SHGetFolderPath or similar. It's especially bad under Vista/Windows 7, because the user root is often presented to the user in the Explorer interface and Start menu where it used to only really be concerned with the My Documents subfolder. So Unix-style apps like this bloat up the user's view (Perforce and Blender are similar offenders.)
Pretty please? I'm using IDLE 2.7, perhaps this is already fixed with the Python 3 packages? Andrew McDonald _______________________________________________ IDLE-dev mailing list IDLE-dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/idle-dev
