-sc invocation option not working correctly
« on: December 20, 2019, 05:06:04 PM »
I'm trying to do a side by side comparison to rebuild my configuration directory. I did the following:
1. Renamed my current config directory "24.0.0 Old" (as well as moved all other configs out so it doesn't migrate, I did see there is a -migrate but this just seemed easier)
2. Opened SE and generated the default config.
3. Invoked SE with vs +new -sc "path\24.0.0 Old"
1 and 2 didn't really matter to this but 3 generated a copy of "24.0.0 Old" at "24.0.0 Old\24.0.0"
My understanding is -sc should just use the configuration at that location, or build a new one there.

-sc specifies the outer config directory. Versioned subdirectories are created inside the outer config directory.
