No, it doesn't change the default SGG path. I just checked with build
0919. I started to import an SGG match and it began in \Program
Files\gnubg. I then went to \Program Files\Gamesgrid\Saved Games and
imported the SGG file I wanted. I then went to Settings --> Save
Settings and then closed GNUBG. I re-opened it and began to import
another SGG match. It showed me \Program Files\gnubg, completely
ignoring my previous, saved, preference.
