Where will files go if no paths specified in config file?

Hi devs, I'm hoping someone can tell me where files will end-up if I provide a config file to SABnzbd with these path fields blank:

Code: Select all

nzb_backup_dir = ""
download_dir = ""
complete_dir = ""
script_dir = ""
Are they automatically created below the installation path for SABnzbd?

They are created in the user’s directory as sub directories. If we can detect it, which is of course platform dependent.
