A better idea (and one I use in PostXING) is to use a program-specific folder under the ApplicationData folder for storing read/write settings data. To get this user-specific folder, use Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData)

So, for example, if you wanted to store the history file in the same folder that PostXING uses, you would create a method like so:

public static string GetUserPath() {
string s = Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData), “PostXING”);
if(!Directory.Exists(s)) Directory.CreateDirectory(s);

return s;
}

If you wanted to store it in a folder called TechnoratiTagger (an approach that I have used for plugins before), you would replace the string “PostXING” with “TechnoratiTagger” or wherever you wanted the config file to sit.

Other than that, this is a really awesome plugin. I appreciate you taking the time to write it. Thanks!

I’ve got a couple of bugs to iron out before v2 beta, but it should be ready to go before too long.

Thanks for creating such a useful plugin!
