Basically, I keep the old 3.0.10 version of DS4Windows to make tests with Lightbar passthru and DS4 emulation rumble. Because it auto-detects that the user data is on %appdata% it uses those files. The thing is, as DS4Windows keeps receiving new updates I get worried that alternating between using an old and a recent version at the same time might break something. I know that I can copy all the user data to the 3.0.10 folder and DS4Windows will ask which to use when opening and other stuff, just wanted to know if it was possible to force the old version to always use the local folder without it prompting me to choose, |

it is already a hassle to keep up with various locations of profile files (appdata folder, program folder etc). If you are worried of messing up settings then you have to take backups. Anyway, one way to toggle between appdata vs programdata folders would be to make a batch script renaming the default %APPDATA%\ds4windows folder to something else and then re-naming programdata ds4windows folder back to original name. This way DS4windows app would "switch over" to use another folder location with your test-unofficial versions. Then when you want to switch back to the latest and greatest version using %APPDATA%\ds4windows folder then a script could rename those folders vice-versa. |
