0003064: Make a default folder for Zandronum testing
This would be a suggestion for Doomseeker, and DE too. Joining a test server is almost automatic, with Doomseeker installing the correct beta version of Zandronum, but there is still a road block: the player has to first go into options to set up a testing folder. Some players are confused why they can't simply connect to those servers, like mine for example.

If Doomseeker (and DE) had a default testing folder, that step wouldn't be necessary, and the whole process would be fully automatic. If a player wants to use a different folder for testing, he would be able to change it from the default as easily as he could set it in the first place now.
No tags attached.

This is purely a Doomseeker thing since the Zandronum beta is obviously already installed before Zandronum is even launched. As for DE, you have to take this up with its developer.

I thought Doomseeker was included in this tracker, and I hoped that the DE devs would happen to see this, too.

EDIT: In the form for reporting an issue, I don't see an option to specify which project the suggestion is for.

I see in that ticket that it is implemented in a beta version of Doomseeker, but many players use the stable version of Doomseeker, perhaps not even aware of the option to use beta versions. I searched for an existing ticket before I posted this, but didn't find that. I brought it up because I had to explain to a player yesterday how to set up a testing folder in Doomseeker.

Now that I have explained myself, I'll shut up so this issue can be closed and not be opened by me posting again.

Doomseeker 1.1 will be released once Blzut3 greenlights it.
