For example i would like to move this folder to partition D (SH3 is on "C:/") cause i have a lot of free space there. Also by moving it to other partition i could put there all mods i own - that way they would be easier to manage and so on...

JScones - if im asking too much just tell me and i will shut up
You're not asking too much. I've actually had a "v2.0" prototype for over a year which does just this. You install it once, wherever you like, and plug in the locations of all your moddable games. When you run JSGME, you simply select the game that you want to tinker with and go from there. So in your instance you'd install JSGME to your D drive and all your backups would be created on the same drive.

No more need to have multiple copies of JSGME in every game's root folder.

I guess once I've fully polished the current JSGME, I'll continue working on v2.0.
