Please correct me if I'm wrong. What I mean is: currently Etoys uses the
default directory to store project files and so it changes the default
directory to point to a different place than the imagePath. But the default
directory is used for a lot of other stuff (saving the image with "save
as...", looking for fonts, monticello's package cache, writing logs, and so
on). Maybe we could keep the default directory pointing to the image path
(as the squeak trunk image) and simply change the directory where we store
the project files. This directory would be "etoysPath" (or any other name
you consider better).
So, what I propose is, instead of making a "resourcePath" for locales,
quickguides, fonts, etc. we create an "etoysPath" only for storing projects
and we change the default directory back to the image path.
Cheers.
