If a user wishes to change the data folder in their BS software, any data that exists in the new folder is overwritten.
This presents a serious consequence that has led to the overwriting of the users data files on many occasions.
A workaround is to make a copy of your data folder and then re-copy that folder to the new data folder location after your have changed the BS data folder configuration.
At a minimum, rather than blindly overwrite the users data, could we have an option? A pop-up that will ask the user if the data should be overwritten?
This will allow users to change their data folder without having to resort to the workaround. It will have the added benefit that new or novice users will not unknowingly wipe out their data.
Anybody who has changed their data folder location has learned this lesson the hard way. I lost my entire BS data files when I first started.
A simple test for the presence of any config file in the new folder location should prompt with an option to overwrite or not.
Please, can we get this in the next release?
