This replaces the hard-coded '%PROFILE%\Application Data\..." path with the correct language-dependant CSIDL_APPDATA. PLEASE NOTE! Checks for the previous location have now been REMOVED. Any data saved in the old hard-coded location will no longer be found by Blender (this will only affect users of non-english windows.) The installer has been updated to help the user to migrate their data to the new location of their choice, if necessary. Order of preference for .blender on windows is now the following: 1) %HOME% environment var 2) Installation Directory (location of blender.exe) 3) "Current User" (CSIDL_APPDATA) 4) "All Users" (CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA)
Welcome to the fun world of open source. For instructions on building and installing Blender, please see the file named INSTALL. ---------------------.Blanguages and the .blender directory--------------------- The .blender directory holds various data files for Blender. In the 2.28a release those are the .Blanguages file containing a list of translations, the translations themselves and a default ttf font. Blender checks for the presence of this directory in several locations: - the current directory - your home directory - On OSX, the blender bundle is also checked - On Windows, the installation dir is checked. If you get a 'File ".Blanguages" not found' warning, try to copy the .blender dir to one of these locations (your home directory being recommended). -------------------------------------Links-------------------------------------- Getting Involved: http://www.blender.org/docs/get_involved.html Community: http://www.blender3d.org/Community/ Main blender development site: http://www.blender.org/ The Blender project homepage: http://projects.blender.org/projects/bf-blender/ Documentation: http://www.blender.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=documentation&file=index Bug tracker: http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?atid=125&group_id=9&func=browse Feature request tracker: http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?atid=128&group_id=9&func=browse
