Use same userdata folder under Windows 7 and Ubuntu

[Blutkoete]

Hello!

I'm using both Windows 7 and Ubuntu while working at home, and I love to play a round of Wesnoth in between and/or build campaigns and maps that will never be finished.

I was wondering whether there is a way to tell both installations (the Linux and the Windows installation) to use the same userdata and savegame folder on my shared data partition so that it doesn't matter in which OS I'm working at the moment.

Thank you very much!

Windows 7 and Ubuntu [...] use the same userdata and savegame

Two steps: 1. mount your Windows partition under Ubuntu, 2. create (a) symbolic link(s).

2.
ln -s <source> <destination>
Source would be something like /media/Windows/<user data directory>/whatever
Destination would be something like /home/Blutkoete/.wesnoth/whatever

Thank you very much!

As (1) is already done, (2) should be a easy. I should have thought of a symbolic link on my own.

Again: Thank you!
