ScreenGrabs are currently stored in C:\Program Files\J River\Media Center 11\Data\ScreenGrabs.
For those of us that capture thumbnails for videos, this data is valuable given the time it takes to create.
ScreenGrabs should default to a folder under the root database directory because:
1) For those of us that backup and/or synchronize our databases across multiple computers, the ScreenGrab data will move with the database when the database root is selected. I just realized that ScreenGrab data is not backed up on my computer because I never thought valuable data would be stored in Program Files.
2) Eliminates dependency on MC version. I am thinking ahead to the day when MC12 comes out of beta and I blow off the MC11 Program Files directory. How will I preserve my ScrenGrab data? You need to provide a mechanism for moving the ScreenGrab data while preserving the "Image Field" links when upgrading from 11 to 12.
