Watch Out - Electron Moves Electrum Files! (The BCC Wallet for Easy Redeem of Coins)

To get tommorow BCC/BCH/Bcash whatever its called, you will need a wallet to import keys.
You can run full node (which will takes alods of time and space) or run lightweight wallet - Electron which is a copy of Electrum.
Problem is it was found out that after installing Electron (http://www.electroncash.org/) it will scan your current Electrum installations and move all files to its folder.
This can be seen as "ease of use" but only makes it scary and not cool in most eyes.
Current suggested by Electrum itself idea for acquiring BCC is:
BCC wallets will require you to import your seed or your private keys,
which can be exported from Electrum. Doing so will expose all your
Bitcoin funds associated with that seed to the BCC wallet you decide
to use.
Therefore, after the BCC fork, but before you enter a seed or
private key in a BCC wallet, you should move all your funds to a new
Electrum wallet, with a new seed. You will still be able to use the
old seed or private key with BCC, because BCC has replay
protection. Wait until your funds are confirmed in your new Bitcoin
wallet, before you enter the old private key in a BCC wallet. This
will protect your BTC funds from rogue/untrusted software.
