Details:
The error the user see's is "Unable to save: Permission Denied"
Installed MyPaint 0.8.2 on Windows 7 Pro, and it is defaulting the save
directory to C:\Users\qwerty\.mypaint
I don't have rights to save to that folder (because it is not me, the current
user; regardless, that user doesn't even exist on my system)
Even if I change the save path to C:\Users\MyUser\.mypaint and save something
there, when I close and re-open MyPaint it is defaulting back to Qwerty.
Expected behavior
a) Installer should not create \Users\qwerty or \Users\qwerty\.mypaint
folder
b) MyPaint should default to \Users\{current_user}\.mypaint for the default
save (at least for first use)
c) MyPaint should have an option in the Settings dialog for the default save
folder (it only has it for scraps) which MyPaint uses every time you start
MyPaint (no matter where you were previously saving to, when you open MyPaint
it goes back to this folder)
d) MyPaint should remember where you last saved in the session (currently
works this way, just a reminder for testing to ensure it doesn't regress with
change c)
