Created attachment 857 [details] Amaya stores in incorrect profile if profile changed/moved Problem: Saving documents saves on Windows in the wrong folder "C:\Documents and Settings\[User]\...", even if the user folder on "D:\For\Example[User]\". Windows - "The config directory" / "The AmayaTemp directory": Currently : $HOMEDRIVE:\$HOMEPATH\amaya by default: C:\Documents and Settings\$user_name\Amaya\config For example: C:\Documents and Settings\[User]\Amaya\config This is not correct if "my files" on X:\Documents\[User]. Amaya stores falsely to [en] C:\Documents and Settings\[User]. Windows - "The AmayaHome directory": Currently : $HOMEDRIVE:\$HOMEPATH\amaya by default C:\Documents and Settings\$user_name\amaya For example: C:\Documents and Settings\[User]\amaya This is not correct if "my files" on X:\Documents\[User]. Amaya stores falsely to [en] C:\Documents and Settings\[User]. Possible solution: - "The config directory": you will find the profile folder usually at (user related program data): %APPDATA%\Amaya - On Windows XP, 2000 This is if unchanged following directory: [de] C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\[User]\Anwendungsdaten\Amaya [en] C:\Documents and Settings\[User]\Application Data\Amaya - On Windows Vista and 7 This is if unchanged following directory: [de/en/..] C:\Users\[User]\AppData\Roaming\Amaya (same as %Username%\AppData\Roaming\Amaya) Note that user settings are taboo in the program or Windows folder. Or you will find the local profile folder usually at (user and computer related program data): %LOCALAPPDATA%\Amaya - On Windows XP, 2000 This is if unchanged following directory: [de] C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\[User]\Lokale Einstellungen\Amaya [en] C:\Documents and Settings\[User]\Local Settings\Amaya - On Windows Vista and Windows 7: This is if unchanged following directory: [de/en/..] C:\Users\[User]\AppData\Local\Amaya (same as %Username%\AppData\Local\Amaya) Note that user settings are taboo in the program or Windows folder. - "The AmayaHome directory": you will find the user profile folder (user data) usually at: (%AMAYA_USER_HOME% corresponds to): %USERPROFILE%\Amaya - On Windows XP, 2000 This is if unchanged following directory: [de] C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\[User]\~Eigene Dokumente~\Amaya [en] C:\Documents and Settings\[User]\~My documents~\Amaya - On Windows Vista and Windows 7 This is if unchanged following directory: [de/en/..] C:\Users\[User]\Documents\Amaya Note that user settings are taboo in the program or Windows folder. All files (for example thot.rc, and dictionary.DCT) should actually in %APPDATA%\Amaya. Only ("My Files") Amaya documents should be in %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Amaya - "The AmayaTemp directory": you will find the local profile folder usually at: (user and computer related program data): %LOCALAPPDATA%\Amaya\Cache (for example "\Cache") - On Windows XP and Windows 2000 This is if unchanged following directory: [de] C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\[User]\Lokale Einstellungen\Amaya [en] C:\Documents and Settings\[User]\Local Settings\Amaya - On Windows Vista and Windows 7 This is if unchanged following directory: [de/en/..] C:\Users\[User]\AppData\Local\Amaya\Cache IE uses the folder path (for example): %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files This is following directory: C:\Users\[User]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files Note that user settings are taboo in the program files or Windows folder. All temporary files should actually in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Amaya\Cache. Only ("My Files") Amaya documents should be in %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Amaya
