Jellyfin media player creates two separate appdata folders - TH35 - 2024-06-11
This isn't really a significant issue, but just a "good housekeeping" question - is it intended behaviour for JMP to create separate appdata folders?
I have one called "Jellyfin Media Player" and one called "JellyfinMediaPlayer" (Windows 10, both in users/[me]/AppData/Local).
The one with spaces has only "cache" and "QtWebEngine" in it, while the one without spaces has "Codecs", "inputmaps", "logs", "Scripts", "sounds" as well as a .conf and storage.json file (so there is no apparently overlap).
Both folders contain files modified today, and as I was having issues with JMP, I renamed both folders to test, and both were re-created, suggesting these are not "grandfathered" folders or anything like that.
Should all of the files not be contained in a single folder?

I believe that is the expected behavior. This happens both on my Windows desktop and Linux desktop.
