HowTo OtherFolderForSettings

Patrick Tingen edited this page Sep 26, 2018 · 1 revision

Normally DataDigger saves its settings in an ini file that is located in the same folder as DataDigger itself. If you want to use another folder for the settings, you can specify this in the file DataDigger.ini

[DataDigger]
WorkFolder=c:\DataDigger\%username%\

Then DataDigger will use the folder you specify at ‘WorkFolder’ for the cache folder, the user ini-files and the backup folder. No write actions will be done on the program folder of DataDigger.

As you may have guessed by the example above, it is possible to use OS-vars in the name of the folder. If it does not exist, it will be created. If it cannot be created, DataDigger will fall back to the DataDigger program folder.

Please note that DataDigger.ini itself should remain in the DataDigger folder.
