Re: [GNC] Placement of autosaves and log files

2023-08-06 Thread Adrien Monteleone
I agree an option would be best with sub-folders as what I'd call a 
'sane default'.


As for the OPs files, I suspect the search wasn't required, but maybe 
seemed to be useful for a directory with *lots* of files. (It also might 
be a case of familiarity with search and limited familiarity with 
sorting and arranging views in File Explorer to quickly find things)


Regards,
Adrien

As for the lock file, to me it seems most useful if it's in the same
folder as the database, as it is now. That makes it a bit easier to
notice. Why the OP had to "search for" it is a mystery to me.
