Summary: WINNT: Set default savegamepath to %AppData%\ScummVM

Initial Comment:
I was always having trouble finding my savegames after I just carelessly started ScummVM without much thinking, saving a game and exiting.

If you don't set a savepath manually, there is just no way to know where, in which directory your savegames went. This is especially true, if you use ScummVM from CommandLine or use different versions.

But now my problem has become even bigger.

It is my duty to decide which AGI fangames are full games and which ones are not.

As you see, it is debateable, what defines "full game"

I came up with the idea, to define it by whether a game has savegamesupport or not.

But starting from the commandline, I just can't find my savegames.

So, may I suggest to set the scummvm.ini files location (%AppData%\ScummVM) also as default savegame directory?


Best regards

Joachim
