MidiPath - where Ditty, et al will look for files, etc.
The Ditty programs expect to find config and data files within the "MidiPath"
root directory that you specified when you installed Ditty.
What -I- do is use a c:\_ (underscore) directory to keep ALL my files in.
(Not just midi files)
The _ sorts to the top of WindowsExplorer.
So my MidiPath is: c:\_\Midi
You can point it at a different drive (d:\midi) or whereever you want.
MidiCfg edits most of the config files in it's GUI, but you'll need to know
where certain programs expect to find certain files.
Below is the directory/file structure...
