- #2785 Changing MapTool data directory location did not change the location for log files. Fixed.
- #2785 Macros moved between Macro Groups or Panels set to Player Editable. Fixed.

have you thought about using appimages or flatpack or snaps to install Maptools? It might be a simpler way to go rather than making installer versions for each OS & distro.
Just wondering.
We are constantly evolving the release process, mostly because Java keeps changing what works and what doesn’t. Maintaining releases for 3 OSs is a constant challenge.
