System Information
Operating system: Windows-10-10.0.16299 64 Bits
Graphics card: GeForce GTX 670/PCIe/SSE2 NVIDIA Corporation 4.5.0 NVIDIA 399.07

Blender Version
Broken: version: 2.80 (sub 74), branch: blender2.7, commit date: 2019-06-11 23:43, hash: 6529d20d79
Worked: (optional)

Short description of error
For an Application Template which provides a startup.blend and a userpref.blend:

At opening: The main preferences are read.
At saving: The main preferences and the application template preferences are written.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Install the application template: Example_Template.zip
In SplashScreen choose Example Template
Open the console, you can read:

Read prefs: C:\Users\Name\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.80\config\userpref.blend

It's wrong, the path must be:

...\2.80\config\Example_Template\userpref.blend

Open User preferences, change something, save preferences. In the console:

Writing userprefs: 'C:\Users\Name\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.80\config\userpref.blend' ok
Writing userprefs app-template: 'C:\Users\Name\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.80\config\Example_Template\userpref.blend' ok

It writes both main userpref and the app-template's. It must write only the app-template's.

This isn't a bug, only some settings are stored in the application templates, so both preferences need to be written.

Does this cause any user visible problems?

While I'm running my tests I don't figure anything like the problems I've seen before, maybe they have been fixed since.

I just figure some things :

The keymap layout is not saved if I restart Blender. (If I create a "test" custom keymap in my app template, it won't be reloaded at startup)
In my application template, if I enable an addon and load another app template and then go back in my first app template, it doesn't save it, then I loose my settings. Maybe it's another issue I should open.
