Hi DiapDealer,

But if we do that wouldn't we end up making a backwards incompatible change. If someone on Windows upgraded to this new path, they would lose all stored settings, plugins, user word lists, and etc.

So perhaps we save this change until Sigil 0.9 or even Sigil 1.0 since many other things would change at the same time?

What do you think?

Probably worth a look.
