Re: [Tuxpaint-devel] Stamps installer on Windows

[Gabriel <gga...@in...>]

In the spanish version of Windows, for example, the C:\Program Files\ dir i=
s=20
called C:\Archivos de Programa\
I suppose Windows should provide a generic way of refering to that director=
y=20
regardless of the Windows language version used; in that case it'd make sen=
se=20
to use it, don't you think?

thx!
