Post From: [BUG] Copying config from one instance to another doesnt let change Data folder

how to reproduce:
- install SC in to 2 folders says SC1 and SC2
- copy sierra4.config from SC1 to SC2
- edit paths in SC2 via General Settings -> Paths, set data folder to SC2\Data
- save SC2, reopen
- again in General Settings - General - Open Files on Startup

now you cant have any files on startup - the paths will be all wrong and malformed whatever you do.

I had to hex edit the file to rid off SC1 ..

also in my 15 yo instance - there are still stuck old paths to some sound files with disk it was initially installed (C:) but moved ages ago to D:
