In Windows, 'My Pictures' should be used by default (if not set differently from config). MacOS might have that aswell.
Linux is tricky so best solution is to use Screenshots config file variable to set the path.

data that is changed on running client (except patch), should be moved away from program folder in the end (that means save folder too)

I almost agree with you nimetu, but what i liked with Ryzom was that you take the folder and you don't have to bother looking at different places to find your files (saved scenarios, map hotspot & so on).
I've already made a patch to put all the Ryzom user's data in the same folder /ryzom/screeshots at this moment. But i wonder what's the best .... ^^

I agree that it's nice to have everything in ryzom/ directory so we can copy/paste the directory and have 2 instances of ryzom without conflicts with user directory and so on.
If we want to use official path, we need to add a variable in the cfg that tell it and then use all official path for screenshot but also all other files.

Perhaps could we move them to "save" folder ? Logs, key config, etc... are already saved in "save" folder so it should be THE folder to backup :)
