Unfortunately, I had occasion to have to uninstall and re-install Fantasy Grounds recently.
I did notice a few things that might be updated in the uninstall routine.
First, the Fantasy Grounds Data directory was not removed. I am sure this is by design, but, maybe an option to remove it could be helpful.
Second, none of the registry entries were removed. I re-installed and fired the program back up and it still had the dice color i had set, instead of reverting to default black.
The registry also contained my licence key. If i was intending to sell the computer, or pass it on to a family member after removing my programs, this is a security hole. As when i re-installed, it had already filled in my licence key.
Im sure I am not alone out here, that when we tell something to uninstall, we want ALL traces of it gone.
