<div>BPBible allows the user to install any of the formats (raw, windows or mac) by dragging onto the application or selecting them in a file picker. It currently has a configurable list of paths - by default this just includes the resources subdirectory of the BPBible installation directory. A little more work still needs to be done to make BPBible follow usual windows directory conventions. But when it does, I think BPBible will possibly look at these places (under windows):</div>
<div>1) $SWORD_PATH, if set</div>
<div>2) $APPDATA\Sword (preferred location)</div>
<div>3) $HOME\.sword (this needs to be deprecated under windows in favour of the above - and it needs engine support added to look for the above)</div>
<div>4) $ALLUSERSPROFILE\Sword</div>
<div>and maybe (under Vista, anyway - but not sure what the function of $PUBLIC is meant to be)</div>
<div>5) $PUBLIC\Sword</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The last two are very likely to be read only under Vista at least; I don't think there is any central directory where all users can write to.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If you want to know where the engine looks by default, there is code in swmgr.cpp which has all the paths it looks in.</div>
