Hi! First of all, thank you soooo much for this program. I´ve been a fan of the Lone Wolf since i was a child. Seventh Sense is the perfect platform to relive my childhoodmemories Enough bellyrubbing, now my question: Is there a way to change the directory of the savegames? I want to play Seventh Sense from an USB-Stick. So its pretty uncomfortable when the Program starts a directory on every PC im using. I always have to copy and paste the directory on my stick to keep my savegames. Thanks in advance, Uvirith

Seventh Sense used to be completely self-contained. You used to be able to specify *any* folder to install it in (including portable folders). However, because of Vista's (and 7's) stupid injuction to not let programs write to the "program files" directory (even when they do not go outside the bounds of their own folder), I had to resort to using the "user" folder to store things like downloaded books/covers, savegames, and settings files.
But, I could probably pretty easily create a "portable" version of the program, that simply uses the old deafults... That would help it be self-contained for thumbdrives and the like, and would alleviate the inherent problem of invalidated/copied replays (for someone interested in getting on the Hall of Fame)
Okay, suggestion taken. When the next version comes out, I'll likely include a "portable" version.

For anyone who cares, this has been incorporated into the program (it was only a 1 line change to enable the option!) Anyway, the next release will consist of both the regular installer files for Windows/Mac/Linux and a standalone zip file for Windows that you can unzip anywhere, and it'll run entirely self-contained from there.
(though, if it runs into writing privilege problems from where it's located, it'll default back to the "User" directory on the main hard drive.)

The Standalone version is now available on the Website. Check it out and let me know how it works for you. (Just unzip it to where-ever you would like to install it.)
