#52 devcpp.ini grows with garbage strings

[Neo]

I found an interesting bug in C:\Documents and Settings[user]\Application Data\Dev-Cpp\devcpp.ini. Each time I start Dev-C++ and close it, the OriginalPath in [Directories] section will be appended with duplicate strings. Eventually this line grows very big.

Like this:

[Directories]
OriginalPath="F:\Programs\dev-c++\MinGW32\bin;F:\Programs\dev-c++\MinGW32\bin;"

[orwelldevcpp]

Confirmed. To be fixed in 5.4.1.

[orwelldevcpp]

Fixed.

This field should not have been stored in the ini files, and contains what is best called unused garbage.

Although zero harm can be done by this, it is much nicer to fix of course. ;)
