Default local directory on Windows

[JoeKelleher]

When installing 1.8.4 on Windows, the local directory defaults to the installation directory C:\Program files (x86)\JournalViewer. Unfortunately this is not generally writable especially if not running as administrator. On the installations I've seen, no xml files ever get written there, and must be reloaded over the network when JournalViewer is restarted and the same cycle is selected. Additionally, the log file messages seem to be misleading as it says the xml file has been succesfully written to C:\Program files (x86)\JournalViewer, and give no indication there's a problem. Using %AppData%\JournalViewer seems to fix the problem, and the xml files can then be seen in that folder.

Am I understanding what's happening here (and what should be happening) correctly?

This sounds like a bug, most likely Windows-specific. The %AppData% solution is probably the best workaround for now.
