And replace it with the already used /StarUpdater directory, I suppose.

It should be moved to 3ds/data to reduce SD card root clutter

I don't agree with that. I could make the directory specified on the makefile, though, if someone wants a different dir, they would only need to compile it with that changed.

Uh. I might not even bother changing it to set it through the Makefile, I mean, the working dir is the first variable to be set in the script.

/StarUpdater is not a required directory at all. I can run StarUpdater-UN just fine without that directory.

Unless you're using an old version (or unless I made this change after the last release, I don't remember), /StarUpdater is used for downloads. Not sure if I've already set backups to go on there. I don't think I have, tbh. Haven't had much time to work on this. The directory is supposed to be used by more stuff, and StarUpdater-UN creates it.

Well in that case yes please do move it to /3ds/data/StarUpdater-UN like Margen said. Root clutter is extremely frowned upon in the community and won't attract people to your tool.

I dislike the /3ds/data directory.

Not to mention, clutter isn't "extremely frowned upon in the community". There is a large number of people who don't care. and those that like the directories at the root of the SD also exist.

I may change it at some point, and maybe to that directory, but it's not a priority.

Why?

It makes the most sense for what it's doing, reduces SD root clutter.

There is a large number of people who don't care. and those that like the directories at the root of the SD also exist.

It's an easy change so I don't see why it's a big deal.

I've never heard of people that actually prefer SD root clutter.

Could just use the /luma directory.
