Description (last modified by )
Filezilla is a very cool file transfer application but
it seems to lack a feature surprisingly trivial: user
profiles.
All users share the same bookmarks that are stored in a
system wide configuration file.
On my home PC there are two users and this is
impractical to find my own bookmark mixed with the
other user's ones, figure it in a more etherogeneous
environment like scools, universitie or offices...
IMHO it should be better and *safer* having them stored
into user's document folder (it can be found, for
example, by inspecting USERPROFILE or HOMEPATH
environment variables), and eventually check for a
common configuration file (for default values or shared
bookmarks) into Filezilla installdir or more
consistently, into the path specified by
ALLUSERPSROFILE environment variable.

These days FileZilla stores its settings in the per-user %APPDATA%
Looking at the source I guess that using the registry to
store settings, they are saved on a per user basis.
I still suggest to uniform the xml option to this behavoir.
