Quoting the build instructions for developers:


".padre is currently in C:\ shall we set the PADRE_HOME to a directory
in the portable distribution? (if so we can configure the plug-ins and
ship them but we have to make sure the configuration files don't include
personal history.."


Shouldn't .padre go into the user's application configuration or home
directory instead on a normal install? For a portable one, it should
maybe go into the Portable tree, but c:\ is most certainly the worst
place for it: not portable, not per-user, and not in the system-specific
"correct" place for configuration files.

Yeah, I know, complaining is cheap and simple. Sorry, but I'm the wrong
guy for fixing win32 issues. :(

Cheers,
Steffen
