[Bf-committers] Fix for #913 "inconsistent .B.blend loading/saving"

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi,


>> Personally I think it should go like this:
>> - if $BLENDERHOME is set, prefs should go there (*without* .blender/
>> prefix).
>> - else if $HOME is set, prefs should go there (+ .blender/ prefix).
>> - else if Windows and USERPROFILE is set, prefs should go there (+  
>> .blender)
>> - else default to the installation dir (+ .blender/)
>>
>> The extra BLENDERHOME check would be nice in case you don't want your
>> blender files to go the same place as everything else.  (Say you have
>> HOME set for Cygwin stuff, but want your blender stuff somewhere else)
>>
>> And aside from the $USERPROFILE check, I think that would be a good  
>> way

Uhh... for the release? Only when it is really *really* really  
important to fix.
