Location of data folder and client loader (Linux/Ubuntu)
1) Currently data folder defaults to '~/wuala/Data'. Client loader could instead ask for data folder location on the first run.
2) I tried to install loader in '/usr/share/wuala' -- it starts normally but then re-creates '~/wuala/loader2.jar'. Not sure why it is happening. Anyway, it would be nice to keep loader and stuff separately from data folder. Say, data folder may reside in user's home directory, whereas loader and scripts could be moved to '/usr/whatever'.

Inappropriate?I don't like 1). It complicates Wuala for the 95% of the users who take the default anyway. What's more, you can already set the data path in the options (local cache settings).1 Comment

This is one of the best points

I tend to agree, however, I believe an additional input (with default value set already) won't hurt. Those 95% of users will just ignore it, however, other 5% will not have to make changes afterwards.
