To make SPAD.neXt non-Administrator-Privileged compatible the next update will separate the dynamic data/configurations from the main software.

This means configurations/profiles/gauges/logs etc will no longer be in the installation directory but at a different location.

This poll is to determine what is the best / most wanted option for this:

A
Put all data into %APPDATA%\SPAD.neXt

B
Put configuration data into %APPDATA%\SPAD.neXt
Put logfiles, profiles , gauges in My Documents\SPAD.neXt

C
Put all data at a selectable location , default to %APPDATA%\SPAD.neXt

D
Put configuration data at a selectable location , default to %APPDATA%\SPAD.neXt
Put logfiles, profiles , gauges at a selectable location, default to My Documents\SPAD.neXt

Please participate in the poll, so I can select the best option for all/most of you.

I don't have the necessary computer skills to make a valid choice. And I want simplicity, simplicity and more simplicity. Please keep it simple.

I prefere B.

C and D gives the user a choice to place stuff in the "wrong" place and make asking for logfiles more difficult in support cases.

B is better than A if your backup software is protecting your profil but not %appdata%.

In this case "B" is the best choice for you.
It will store everything that is "internal" and "unimportant" at a place not visible to you,
but store everything that is needed to backup etc. in your "My Documents"

I am also of the opinion that it should be as easy as possible.

I'll agree with aplus10, and strongly agree with doublem.
