Yes, well, that's the world of software updates, isn't it? Reading changelogs, the software/update history is the necessary evil when you want to make sure a program does what you want it to. And there's almost always a new feature not everybody likes. I'm definitely one of those people. I can't count the number of features I disabled over the last couple of decades because I considered them dumb, useless, were the opposite of protecting users' privacy or even dangerous.
The good thing about TC is that it's very broadly configurable - unlike the Windows platform it runs on which is getting worse and worse, but I digress (as Jay likes to say).
If we would know that TC is now not any longer portable in the sense it was by using ""UseIniInProgramDir=7"".
As I pointed out above, just this setting is probably not enough.
But most people will not notice this new feature and so leaving tracks on PCs they do not know they make on default.
Well, there are only tracks left on PCs of other people. Now that it's so much noise about this feature, many more people will notice and act accordingly - either leave it as it is or disable it if they see the need to do so.
I suggest to leave such files in the TC-folder and use AppData only if the TC-folder is write protected.
Would you suggest the same for ThumbsLocation and TreeFileLocation? Although the latter might be not a good example because treeinfo.wc is saved on the drive if possible.
Or enable that feature not on default.
Maybe create a poll about whether or not to enable this feature by default to get an impression how people feel/think about it?
