Those are great improvements.
I wish there would also be a confirmation on ESC before exiting the application. It is easy to hit it an extra time when switch between room layout and event screens.

Yes, maybe he forgot it. I have had this experience few times, but at least it asks if you want to save the work or not, so my work is not lost.
By the way, Norbert, is there any chance we can see your to-do lists?

No, I've deliberately not added this. I personally prefer an occasional accidental exit over the application always asking me whether I want to quit, even if no unsaved changes exist. I did make a small change though: version 3.10 (and newer) no longer forces the user to make a No/Yes choice when presented with the save pop-up. The ESC key will now close the pop-up instead of assuming No. This means that if you accidentally hit ESC when unsaved changes exist, you can simply press ESC again to continue editing.

I generally avoid posting to-do lists to prevent feeling rushed, because I assume it always creates some expectations. Even when announcing that I'm working on something, I generally do this when most of the work is already done. I made an exception for my plan to allow PoPOT users to add mods themselves, because it's one of the reasons I've been adding mods less quickly than I used to (and in batches).

If you launch Apoplexy and play test with SDLPoP and press F12 to take screenshot, the screenshots are saved in the prince directory inside the screenshots directory: that means it's inside the "apoplexy/prince/screenshots/screenshot_000.png". Shouldn't it be in "apoplexy/SDLPoP/screenshots/screenshot_000.png"?
Is this the bug of Apoplexy or is SDLPoP responsible for this weird behaviour?

SDLPoP always creates replays/ in its parent directory, but not screenshots/.
This seems inconsistent. Likely David will read this post.

There is a locate_file() function for exactly this.
Fixed:

For the replays/ directory, locate_file() is called here:
