That's wrong. Dolphin looks to the registry first. If it doesn't see a registry key it uses the default global user directory path, if it sees LocalUserConfig it uses the directory the build is in, and if it sees UserConfigPath it uses the path indicated there.
Looking at the contents of a local file to determine what to do? That's the old method exactly. I used this to make a "global user directory" for a year before this change. While people could make a global user directory with it they usually didn't, and this lead to infrequent updates to reduce the hassle of moving saves and settings. That's what this is for. It is now much easier to update, so hopefully people will do it more often.
