Configuration with hardcoded paths
Hello,
I found you use hardcoded paths at the RDM configuration.
This is bad if you need to recover a RDM configuration on another PC without an existing export.
I need to create a user with the same name like on the old PC to get the configuration running and to do an export.
It would better if you use a variable for this like "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Devolutions\RemoteDesktopManager" .
Kind regards

Hello,
We don't use hardcoded path by default. The path is exactly the one you've posted if RDM is installed in %program files% but if it's installed in another folder, it will use this folder. This is used for the portable version of RDM.

I used RDM on a VM with the User "stefan", the user profile path was
c:\Users\stefan
This VM crashed and I used a new VM with user "stefan.CAC":
c:\Users\stefan.CAC
Then I copied from the old VM the complete configuration from
c:\Users\stefan\AppData\Local\Devolutions\
to the new VM with the path
c:\Users\stefan.CAC\AppData\Local\Devolutions\
On the new VM RDM couldn't start because it tried to create a file at the profile path
c:\Users\stefan
I got it working with creating a user "stefan" at the new VM with the profile path "c:\Users\stefan", exporting the configuration and importing it at the correct user "stefan.CAC".

Hello,
Is it only the data source configuration that is hard coded? You can take a look in File->Data Sources?
