Ups, thanks for the hint, didn't realize I was just mailing you.

But isn't that just moving the problem? There doesn't seem to be a
difference as I would need to add a line to each profile (or the other
way around) still.
Granted I would then only need to change one line if I wanted to edit
the path again, but the initial work would be the same plus it makes the
profiles file more complicated.

I still think that option should have it's home in config.xml, looking
at all the available workarounds the client seems what I gonna try.
An update would then mean reinstalling/updating it with a different
settings.xml (containing the new path) and then change the path.

Kind Regards,
