Right. Then user will not try install there. Right ?

Another nice idea was next:
we add property 

    Valentina.VComponentsPath =
        "/Users/name/ApplicationSupport/MyApp/Components"

This feature can allow:
    - have different apps to have own folders with own names.

Note here. We going to start add version number to names of shared libs as
on mac so on windows.

    vkernel_cw_21.shlb
 
This step will allow us to have on computer different VComponents folders
that keep different versions of dlls.

I understand Claudius.

I think you will need send us your application project,
So we will check YOUR operations and code.

As you could see, e.g. Stan says that he see up to 2 times speedup for his
application. So I want to see what you do and how.

Or may be we can make some test project with you, where you show
    -- this operation on v1 work N seconds
    -- the same on v2 works 2N seconds.

Because say: just optimize -- is too general.
