Description uwestoehr 2017-12-05 19:59:41 UTC

LabPlot stores its settings on Windows in the folder.

C:\Users\<user_name>\AppData\Local

this does not follow the Windows specifications that requires the folder

C:\Users\<user_name>\AppData\Roaming\<program name>

see https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/help/folder-variables

this is fixed in the latest rc8 package at [1] by patching ksharedconfig.h

Many thanks! I'll try to find some time and provide a Win installer.
