    Is it possible to modify the location of the User files.

    Per Edit - Edit Options - Description, the User files are are located at C:\Users\user.RecordEditor\reCsvEd.

    I changed all the locations in Properties - Directories tab and Save Directories tab, but that did not change the location of the User files.

    I looked for a parameter / switch to use on startup but did not find one.

    I am probably missing something.

    Thank you.

    Windows 10. reCsvEd 0.99.3.

    To change the directory where the Editor opens:

    • Select Edit >>> Edit Options primary menu option
    • Select the Properties tab on the left hand side of the options screen
    • Change the Directory where the Editor opens in option (second from the top).
      See the attached picture
    • Press the save button at the top of the screen.

    Thank you for the quick response.

    I wanted to change the location of this directory:

    "C:\Users\user\.RecordEditor\reCsvEd"
    

    To something like this:

    "C:\reCsvEditor"
    

    So the Params.Properties, ParamLists.Properties, and UserJars.txt would be located in "C:\reCsvEditor". Similar to a portable installation.

    I had looked at the ReCsvEditor_USB_0.99.2 files, but not closely. A closer inspection .... ReCsvEditor_USB_0.99.2 includes a "parms" folder. I added a "parms" folder to my 0.99.3 install. I found this file: RecEdit.properties in lib\properties.zip. It differs from the reCsvEditor_Installer_0.99.3 installation's file of the same name and location. It appears to define the PropertiesDirectory. So I copied that file and pasted it into the reCsvEditor_Installer_0.99.3 installation.

    Everything appears to be working.

    Thanks.
