| Summary | 0001796: Database should be stored to Application Data instead of My Music | ||||
| Description | Currently, MediaMonkey data is stored to the /My Music/MediaMonkey folder by default. Many users have complained about this. We should move this to the correct location of either of the following (it seems that the former is more popular): User/Application Data/MediaMonkey User/Local Settings/Application Data/MediaMonkey In terms of existing users, the location should be left as is, but for new users, the default should be as indicated. | ||||

We should use CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA, i.e. User/Local Settings/Application Data/MediaMonkey/MediaMonkey.db (btw, it's how WMP works). Currently, just for testing, we use C:\mm.db, but it should be changed as described above. Also, user should be able to modify the default location using some option in MediaMonkey.ini, as it was possible for Access database (using DBName option). |
|
|
Default folder is moved to User\Local Settings\Application Data\MediaMonkey. With DBName param from ini file users can define custom location for the DB. |
|
|
The intended design is that: 1) MM is installed on a per user basis 2) If a second user on a pc installs the app, then config settings shouldn't be overridden and MM should just create a second set of config settings/DB The only exception may be that some plugins which write directly to the MM directory (however, this is a problem anyhow in Vista). |
