Request: separate Cakewalk data from user data for easier backups

It seems like Sonar creates a Cakewalk Content directory, which installs a lot of data from the installation disks, but also is the default location for many user-edited files, such as Instrument Definitions, Project Templates, Track Templates, etc. (Yet, for me at least, Drum Maps and Plugin Menu Layouts are off in AppData/Roaming, which is a bit confusing.)
 
Ideally, there would be 2 separate places - one for the stuff that comes with the installation, and one for things the user makes. Sonar could merge them together in the program interface, but when you want to backup your data, you only need to backup your user directories. (If showing a unified view in the program is too tricky, then default to the user directory, but prepopulate that with a shortcut to the Cakewalk data directory.)
 
I appreciate that it's debatable whether various templates should be in My Documents vs. Appdata, but both of those places are recognised locations for user data backups - so ideally anything we modify should be in one of those places, not hidden among the stuff installed from the DVDs.

I have plenty that I like to keep backed up, but because I arrange my data and documents well, I know exactly which directories need backing up and which ones do not. This saves time and disk space, and means migrating to new machines is easier in future.
 
Sonar is pretty much the only program I own that sprinkles its own data across a variety of places and then mixes in user data alongside it.

You can change all the directories, but then that means you just have Cakewalk's data sat around in a different directory that you no longer access easily from within the program. Ideally you could quickly access both their data and your data, without having to spend much time navigating between them.

You're misunderstanding me. I have apps and data separate. I am talking about my data and Cakewalk's data. Cakewalk installs Instrument Definitions, Project Templates, Track Templates, and more. So do I, by editing them in the program. By default they go in the same place. I can change the folder that Sonar uses for each of these - but then the data in the old folder is less accessible. An ideal solution would be to have 2 folders - one for the installed data, and one for my data, but to show them all together in the menus etc.

fwiw, I understand and sympathize. I've submitted an FR for this at least twice in the past few years. I find it a tad frustrating, but, if this is my biggest frustration I guess I can put up with it. Still, nice to know I'm not alone!
