- The default location of the Desktop Wallet app can be modified during the installation process (Windows only).

- Memory dump files are generated on Windows only. A dedicated memory dump file is created per each crash case.
- Each version of the wallet keeps the wallet database file (wallet.db) in the dedicated sub-folder, designated by the version number. On each wallet update the new folder is created to which and the wallet database file from previous version is copied into (and updated if necessary).
