Storing Dolphin User directory globally instead of per-build

Hi everyone,

Just a quick poll to get everyone's opinion. I'm thinking of changing where Dolphin store settings, saves, screenshots and things like that. Currently this is stored in the "User" directory, which is in the Dolphin directory. This means when you want to use several builds, you have to do extra stuff to have the same config, the same memory cards and the same Wii saves in all your builds.

With that change, the Dolphin settings directory would be in My Documents\Dolphin Data. This means every new build would use settings and saves from that directory.

Am I missing something that makes this change a problem or would that make everyone on Windows happier?

FWIW, this is how we do things on Linux and OSX currently, so the code supports it and it should be a pretty easy change. I'll also keep support for the current per-build User directory: if you create a "portable.txt" file next to the Dolphin executable, Dolphin will continue using the User directory (for people who want to keep Dolphin on a USB drive to use on several machines, for example).

Thanks,
