It is nice to allow people to install uDig anywhere on the system, and it is even nicer that obviously no registry edits and such are needed, so that it's easy to uninstall uDig. Strange is, however that the user directory is set to C:\program files\UDIG\eclipse\workspace\workspace under WinXP. There are three points that I'd personally like to point to: 1. Usually, on German system there is no "C:\program files" directory, rather a "c:\Programme" directory. If uDig chooses "C:\Programme" to install the program, then why not so for the user files? This might apply to other languages too, of course. 2. I am one of - I believe - the majority of people that like to separate programs from user data. That is, I'd prefer to allow the user to select the workspace directory during installation and to change it later. (I havn't yet found the possibility to tell uDig this.) As a workaround the user data directory might be used for the preselected workspace, e.g. "c:\documents and files\<Username>\My files" (in Germany: "c:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\<Username>\Eigene Dateien" 3. The current directory "C:\program files\UDIG\eclipse\workspace\workspace" is a bit too nested - for no obvious reason. The path "C:\program files\UDIG\workspace" would have done, wouldn't it?
