This is a low priority suggestion to clean up the SC use of directories (folders). I have a number of different chartbooks, dlls, and Study Collections that I share between multiple instances of SC. All of these are very different than data, which cannot be shared. It is esthetically unpleasing to place these shared files with unshared data. More importantly, while collections and dlls do not change that frequently, and it is possible to synchronize them externally, the interface for opening chartbooks, when not in the data folder, is annoying, since one must click on folder, navigate to a folder, click ok, click on a chartbook, click ok. Please allow us to set a default chartbook directory or have open chartbooks start in the last folder selected. It would also be nice to be able to set at least one directory for the other non-data files so that they are not mixed with the data which has very different handling. I, of course, already use the setting of the data folder to separate program files that can change with a new release from the persistent files. It would be ideal if one could specify directories for the config files, trade data, and log files that are stored in the program directory and are of very different character than those files which come with a clean install.
