Re: change in storage directory: a bug?

[Stephane Delcroix <stephane delcroix org>]

Hi Emanuele,

First, it's totally ok to have multiple base directories, don't worry
with that.

And about the change, I'd say it's a necessary pain... At a moment in
time, we had to start doing that thing right (I mean create it once and
keep that location in the preferences). Before that, we had no way of
telling what was the default import folder, so no way to warn that it
changed...

sorry about that
