# Just a thought, but would there be any practicality to adjusting the part of libpnd that creates the appdata directory if it doesn't exist to also scan the PND and manually recreate its directory structure in the new appdata # directory?

Thought about that in the distant past, and the idea was shot down mostly because.. you may have some wild-ass directory structure in the PND, but only read it; in general, the changes you intend to make usually aren't really widespread, so why create an enormous directory structure on SD, when chances are you only need to make one or two.
And it didn't seem like there would be any way to predict what would be changed.. ie: can only leave it for the subject matter expert, the author of the pnd.
The way aufs works is pretty annoying there (Self defeating?), but not sure theres a great automatic workaround. (Maybe aufs has had improvements over time, maybe theres new options that make it work better? Someone should check that :P)
