Any thoughts about which is the best approach?
The script could have two functions: - create new user directory and import old settings. This can be invoked every time the userdir has to be created. - make sure that examples and templates are correctly visible. The second function can probably be done at every launch of the application without problem. Or it could be turned into a few lines of C++. The problem with copying files is that you end up with a copy for each user and the user is able to modify this copy without restriction. I think it is a recipe for problems. JMarc
