Such a change will break the original MRC python client. But I'm sure a coordinated rollout of an updated client would solve the issue.
Also, I know that several of my MPL apps use the user's temp directory
for stuff. I think I use the CfgTempPath variable. I assume that under the new plan, the variable will point to the proper directory, yes? If
so, then I don't think that my apps will break because of it.
Anything that uses CfgTempPath would be fine, as that would change to the new format. Using %P in your door configuration instead of "/tempath<node>" is both easier to do and will of course still work after the change.
I am not going to change it just yet anyway. A44 is going to be one of this super big releases with tons of new things, the new theme system, more Python stuff, probably a new index reader for message bases, maybe some new theme stuff, etc. So changing the paths, I'll just hold off on that for a bit longer.
