[Scummvm-devel] Windows experience

[Willem Jan Palenstijn]

Hi all,

While I'm not a regular Windows user myself, I tried the ScummVM 1.4 release in
Windows 7 earlier tonight.

A few random remarks:

* It's slightly weird that we have no 64 bit installer. Not a real problem, but
  it made me look through the download list a few times to see if I missed
  anything.

* The status window in the background is just silly. I thought we had decided
  to get rid of that, but apparently not? (Addendum: I just noticed we have a
  "noconsole" version in the start menu. Why isn't this the default?)

* It's very neat that we show recently played games in the start menu.

* The savegame location is bizarre. I actually had to do a full HD search to
  find my savegames in
  C:\Users\wjp\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\ScummVM
  of all places. And that's only because I already know what filename to look
  for. The README is also completely unhelpful when it comes to locating this.


The status window and savegame location in particular make us look rather
unpolished and outdated. It would be nice if we could improve this.
