Bug: "--user-data-dir" setting fault #144

I run TiddlyDesktop with a command line that forces: --user-data-dir=.\data

This ensures the data dir is at: C:\bag\PortableApps\tiddlydesktop\data

But TiddlyDesktop still creates the redundant directory at: C:\Users\Josiah\AppData\Local\TiddlyDesktop\User Data. There is no data in it, just the sub-dir \Crashpad that is itself empty.

I hadn't looked at TiddlyDesktop in awhile, so this was an opportunity. It's looking pretty good now, and might be considered the closest thing to a true TiddlyWiki application.

But as long as it exhibits this eccentric behavior, it can't be considered portable and would be prohibited in some environments. It also means that it leaves crumbs behind, which is poor etiquette when using borrowed equipment.

Just confirmed it is still doing this in 0.0.14. (What will it take to get the first or second level version numbers bumped? This is beginning to look like passive-aggressive false modesty!)

Also, it would be good to document this switch along with the new --open switch (for which many thanks, good things come to those who wait patiently!) in the help files. Also please any other useful command line switches lurking.
