_______________________________________________________
Details:
(This problem also occurs on 1.11.11. I have not tried earlier 1.11
versions.)
During installation, I chose to install "Just for me". Later in the installer,
I was given the choice between two options:
* Store userdata in the install location
* Store userdata (preferences, saved games..) in
My Documents\My Games\Wesnoth1.11
However, the standard folder to store user game data since Windows Vista is
the "Saved Games" folder that is typically found in the user profile (I
believe there should be an API to get that folder name, because it is part of
a set of standard profile folders).
The "Saved Games" folder is shown appropriately translated to the user
language in the Windows Explorer. The "My Games" directory that Wesnoth uses
is not. It is frankly an eyesore in an otherwise tidy "My Documents" folder.
All other games use the "Saved Games" standard folder. Wesnoth is alone in
that English directory it incorrectly created.
Wesnoth 1.10 did not have that problem. It properly stored its settings in the
standard "Saved Games" directory.
Here is the output from stderr.txt on the first run of Wesnoth after a clean
install:
