Keep or merge?[edit]
With Steam and Itch release there are many more possibilities for game\save\mods locations. Should we keep this page for quick reference for the nuances for each release location (and on the way to link to other related articles) or merge all the details to relevant pages. --Jan (talk) 06:13, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
Rename[edit]
Maybe 'Game locations' or 'Game file locations' would be better? --Jan (talk) 06:49, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
- 'Game directory structure' or just 'Directory structure'? More exact, and allows a subsection on file locations, detailing possible alternative setups as mentioned above. --Alpacalypse (talk) 20:22, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
Non-Portable[edit]
Non-portable is a confusing way to refer to the default User Data folder. Seem like we need common terms for both the installation folder location and the user data folder location with a note that it can be in "Portable mode" which means that the user data folder is inside the installation folder.--Brrak (talk)
