Should version 1.1.x and 1.2.x share data location?
Posted: Wed Nov 14, 2018 11:56 am
Up until now we have had different locations for makehuman user files (such as saved files and downloaded assets) depending on if you use the stable release or if you use a build for the upcoming release ("makehuman/v1" vs "makehuman/v1py3").
Now there's a discussion on whether we should keep this separation, or if we should go back to "makehuman/v1" when making the next stable release.
The argument for using the same folder for both versions is that the file formats are mostly unchanged, and thus it doesn't make sense to have to copy data between the two.
The argument for using separate folders is that this is how it has looked for quite a while now, and while all assets have the same format, files saved from 1.2.x won't be possible to open in 1.1.x.
So what are your thoughts? Should we use the same folder for both versions?
