On a side note, Maren, that member mentioned that he found the AppData directory was a hidden file, by default, in Windows 10. After some thought, I think it may be hidden in all Windows versions by default. (I've had my hidden folders displayed for ages, so I never noticed this myself.)
But if it's true that AppData is hidden by default, in all supported Windows versions, it might be a good idea to mention that, whenever guiding someone there, e.g. to find preferences.xml, to install templates, extensions, etc..
Would there be a way, perhaps using find/replace, on webpages, to add a brief note about it being hidden or suggesting to unhide if necessary? I'm thinking mostly about the FAQ, but there are probably other places where the website sends users "down that path".
And if so, would there be a way to do it for all pages at once, rather than fixing 1 page at a time?
Hi Brynn,
as you know, I haven't touched a Windows computer in years. Could you verify if this folder is hidden by default on the Windows versions you mentioned? (maybe do a web search, or ask other Windows users)
If that is the case, this seems to be a piece of useful information for our users. To pass it on to them, we'd have to manually edit the web pages and inform translators of changes. There's no automatic search/replace for this kind of thing. Could you then also find out if there's a keyboard shortcut for the Windows Explorer (or whatever their file browser is called now) that shows hidden files?
I'd be glad to help with finding the appropriate places on the website that would need edits, and to inform translators about any changes.
Kind regards, Maren
