Multiple SQ versions share user or data folder - Customizable file path

     SQ develop version was released so fast , so many user are actively participating in the trial and testing of the new beta version. My own experience is that I always have to switch back and forth between the more stable old version and the less stable new version to try it out because of some bugs or instability in the new experience version. Because I'm not sure if migrating the whole user folder will affect some new features, my current practice is to migrate data, setting, extend, project,strategy files repeatedly.If SQ could provide user-defined user folder paths in the UI, users could seamlessly switch between the new and old versions (both versions read the same user folder). This would satisfy the development strategy in the stable old version, and at the same time make it easy to participate in the internal testing of the new version 

      To add, recently I mainly developed strategies on 137Dev4, optimized strategies had to work on 136, and occasionally needed to check if there were the same bugs in the latest 137rc3. so when every commodity rollover, I needed to download and update the commodity history data repeatedly and often. For Asian market data, I even need to manually import historical data one by one repeatedly, which is quite tedious. If it is difficult to customize the whole user folder, at least it should be possible to customize the data folder. Just like the strategy output save path can be customized, no matter I use several sq instances or two PCs to develop and retest the strategy, it can be easily shared and managed under one file path.

Yeah, I always have to reinstall all extra indicators and data from scratch on every dev release.
