We're "technically" supposed to use "%APPDATA%\DQSD" in order to provide users with the most secure and manageable environment. Also, this could cause duplication of many searches if we were to provide users with the ability to each have their own config. This would seriously need a different loading mechanism that didn't rely on file extensions to parse the search files - but rather a user config option, that listed what searches were disabled, probably in an XML file that we would use to filter the searches as they were loading, using an XSL transformation. The localsearches folder would need to be under: %appdata%\dqsd\localsearches\ The 'base' searches should also go under "%CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA%\dqsd\searches\" because they are files that must have read access in order for the application to run, but apps are not *supposed* to 'read' files under program files. Placing them under "common_appdata" puts them in the "all users" app data folder so everyone has access to them - but if we were to continue using the rename-to-disable-searches method we'd effectively disable searches for all users if one user were to disable their searches. Alternatively, we could duplicate all the searches in every users directory, but this is a waste of resources and (IMHO) we shouldn't seriously entertain it. > [snip] > IMHO, this is a huge change and would warrant 4.0 > release. Oh yeah. This is *not* a minor change. Regards, Shawn K.
