BrightAuthor / Roaming Profile Issue

Hi,

I'm pretty sure there is a flaw in the way BrightAuthor saves preferences to the Windows registry.  My network uses roaming profiles.  Any time I log out of windows all of my preferences in BrightAuthor are lost.  It's a bit of a pain.  I think that BA is saving preferences to a volatile part of the registry that vanishes upon logging out of Windows.

Please advlse.

Thanks.

    Preferences are stored on the compputer normally, in the profile directory.  I don't know how it interacts with roaming profiles....

    I'm having this exact problem as well. 

    BrightAuthor saves its preferences to %LOCALAPPDATA%, which is not part of a roaming profile.  As a result, it loses all of its settings each time you log out.

    Can we either change the preferences folder to %APPDATA% or be able to specify the location with a command-line argument?
