Description

after changing the path of the database location to a new directory, the logfile should be written in the same new directory and not in the old path. Otherwise it's not possible to get rid of the .timetracker folder that sits directly in the /user-path.
(In my opinion the .timetracker - folder should be under AppData/Roaming/ anyway - for Vista / Win7)

The database location and the logs location are two separated things.
Why do you need to get rid of the .timetracker folder?

Updated by Michael Zogg 224 days ago

I very much like a clean folder structure and when applications do 'hijack' the important user-folder I try to clean up and move the content to where it belongs.
Therefore I very much would like to move all the content to the appdata/roaming or appdata/local folder. Otherwise I'd end up with 200 folders below /user and no structure at all. Thanks

I suggest changing the database and logs folder to "%APPDATA%\0xFF\TimeTracker" or "%APPDATA%\TimeTracker" for new installations of the application. For compatibility reasons, if "%HOMEPATH%\.timetracker" exists, it should still be used instead of "%APPDATA%" to avoid loss of user data.
