> Hi,
> Most users don't know or use this directory: Blender 2.61\2.61\config
> The config folder when created by the user, will save the startup.bend to
> this location & defaults for the build remain within the build it's self.
> That is, wherever you have unzipped Blender will be the default folder
> path.
> This allows, on Windows especially, multiple builds with multiple startups
> & not using the default installed location at all.
> Users\Dad\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.61 remains the
> default install location.
>
> My proposal is, that the 'config' folder be created in svn builds by
> default.
> This can be removed for official releases, then reactivated for svn builds.
> I do beleive it should be in the official windows zip by default too.
>
> For users of graphicall & builders, the config folder can be very handy.
> i don't want experimental builds/branches overwriting appdata files,
> there's no need & it can cause conflicts.
>
> For me, this is a practial solution for multipe blender versions.
> Thanks.
