Confused regarding <APPDATA> etc

Hi,
I'm trying to do a Template for GIMP and when I record it it say's

<APPDATA>\GIMP is that for all folders in the %user%\appdata folder? also for the roaming and local folder that are located under appdata?

And what's the windows search path for <userprofile> and <LocalAppdata>? I guess that <LocalAppdata> is for the user/appdata/local

Hi @robinstolpe,

The <AppData> and <LocalAppData> folder tokens correspond with the Windows env vars %APPDATA% and %LOCALAPPDATA%, so C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming and C:\Users\username\AppData\Local, respectively.

<UserProfile> maps to %USERPROFILE%, so C:\Users\username.

I've been meaning to improve the documentation for this; thank you for reminding me!
