File location test
From Stellarium Wiki
To whoever is able to build Stellarium on non-Linux platforms:
- Please see if build works with respect to the locations of files (I moved code from elsewhere into StelFileMgr, but don't have access to non-linux machines to do a test build).
- Report where files end up. It is not clear to me where this is on non-POISX systems, as the location is determined by a system call unfamiliar to me.
I would like to know the following for the user guide:
- Installation directory - the name of the directory where the nebulae, scripts, skycultures, landscapes etc. are installed.
- Location of config.ini (the version which is saved when clicking save in the config window, not the default_config.ini file)
- Location where screenshots get saved
- Location where recorded scripts get saved.
