#8383 closed patch (wontfix)

Script to handle configuring savegame location

Description

This is a small script I use to automatically set the SCUMMVM_SAVEPATH environment variable and create the directory, if necessary.

This is a Bash shell script, designed to go into /etc/profile.d for those setups that support it; otherwise, it can be integrated into a standard shell profile script. Note, it should probably be set chmod 0755

Creating something similar for Windows should be pretty trivial, probably something like the following:

SET SCUMMVM_SAVEPATH=path IF NOT EXIST %SCUMMVM_SAVEPATH%\NUL MKDIR %SCUMMVM_SAVEPATH% > NUL

Since I don't have a Windows box to test it on, though ...

So... where's the point? What's special about this?

Note that SCUMMVM_SAVEPATH will probably be removed completely in a future release. Use a config file or a command line option to specify an alternate savepath instead.
