 # If you need to, though, you can use this file to set the locations that Forge
 # will use to store your data.  If you specify a relative path in this file, it
 # will be relative to the Forge program directory.

+# Paths defined in this file will each have the whitespace trimmed from their
+# start and end.  If you need the path to start or end with a space or tab
+# character, put a slash before or after it, as appropriate.  For example, for
+# the directory "<forge program dir>/ local profile  ", use:
+# xxxDir=./ local profile  /
 
 # This is where Forge will save your personal data, such as your saved decks,

 # an older version of Windows:
-#   Windows: %APPDATA%/Forge

 # This is where forge will download and/or look for card picture data.  The
