Two fixes for -o behavior #287
Conversation
setting the current directory when using -o causes issues loading templates (which read from current (skyrim data)).

my intention for this is to have pandora installed outside of everything, -o point to an empty folder (that gets packaged into a mod of its own). What I don't know is what to do if there are templates in both the launch folder + the skyrim\data folder that are pointing to the same template. e.g. one overwrites/updates part of a template that is in the launch folder. Who wins? |

Why would you ever have template folders in both the launch and the skyrim\data folder? The template folders should be unseparable from the base engine as it requires those to launch. |
|
I mean from mods that alter the templates. Like Archery Gameplay Overhaul. It has a Nemesis patch which puts files in the Nemesis_Engine folder. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/24296?tab=files I'm also thinking of the "possible, but does it happen?" cases where someone posts mods to your templates to either acomodate their other mods or to change behavior. (khajit that walk on their toes vs feet). |

There was a migration to Avalonia so this PR could not be carried over; however, the changes were recreated; see here: bb0238d |

create the missing output directory if it does not already exist.
