First congrats on the first Win10 Store version, just saw a post on [mspoweruser.com](http://mspoweruser.com).

Long time user and donator I immediately downloaded it and installed.

However I am unable to use my old standalone configuration.zip file with the new app because I can't see the MP3Tag directory in the \apps\roaming\mp3tag directory to put it in. It appears to be invisible (?).

When I save a blank config out of the new store app it thinks it's creating it and prompts to overwrite it, but I still can't see the MP3Tag directory. Any hints? Thanks. 🙂

It's working a little bit differently for Store apps, they're heavily sandboxed. I guess you can find the configuration somewhere at

`C:\Users\<Your Name>\AppData\Local\Packages\35795FlorianHeidenreich.Mp3tag_rf0p6xgxmspcc\LocalCache\Roaming\Mp3tag\`

Why not add "Load configuration" option into menu, so user would not even need to bother with config directory location?

Thanks Florian, I was able to locate the directory and dropped my standalone version's data/config info into it and now it's the same on the Windows 10 app. It even maintained the albumartdownloader helper external tool link.
