Hello. The forum thread http://www.wesnoth.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=99538 points to the preference data location under Windows, which should be in %APPDATA% and not Wesnoth's directory.
It's pretty straightforward to fix, src/filesystem.cpp just needs a small change. The only concern is that users may need to move saved data & such with a new version. I see different solutions: a make the installer copy files if "upgrading" b asking user to copy files manually c check both directories d don't do anything, just say preferences location changed d isn't nice to users, c is probably not worth the trouble of merging data and handling 2 paths. a seems to me the best way, and the most friendly. Won't work for people using SVN, but they should understand the "copy files please" warning without any issue :) My opinion is that it's worth fixing that location. That enables Wesnoth to be installed in Program Files directory and work if user is not administrator (without messing file permissions). Also lets different users have different settings. Of course I can make the patch :) (i may just be the windows guy the thread mentioned lol) Nicolas
