Where the Config Files are Hidden...

Question

It appears that sometime during the BYE v3.1.0 Beta Period, the Config Files location has gotten moved from the C:\Program Files...BackyardEOS location to a Windows User AppData\Local\VirtualStore subdirectory.

 

This led me on a rather merry chase, as I have been working to setup and manage a Multi-Camera configuration using your Camera1.exe / Camera2.exe / ... implementation.

I was mislead for quite some time, because you actually still include Camera1 User.Config files in the Installation Directory under C:\Program Files.  Sorry, but when working to setup Multiple User.Config files with nearly the same contents (except those which could cause Image Download or BackgroundWorker "collisions"), its more expedient to use a File Editor / Comparison Tool than the "old-school" Windows Directory Selection dialogs.

 

Can I guess that the reason for this "extra complexity" is an effort to Conform your App to the most recent "Windows File Security Rules" ??

Nope, the config file have always been the the virtualstore folder deep in the appData folder.
