[solved]Is it possible to move the MyDocuments folder?

Postby ribbit » 15 April 2011, 12:07

The liberkey MyDocuments folder's default location is under the LiberKey folder, in my case P:\LiberKey\MyDocuments
Since I "believe" in separating the data from the application (I hope you'll agree with me this is a good idea), I wanted to move it to be directly under the drive, meaning: P:\MyDocuments.
Unfortunately, this default location is tightly integrated with the LiberKey option to "Create Sent to / My portable documents" temporary shortcut, under the advanced options.

The "problem" is: you can't update that send-to link. Or am I wrong? Would you consider adding an option to do that in a future release?

[Actually, I was hopping I could put in inside TrueCript volume, and use the LiberKey autorun feature to start it automatically.]

Hello ribbit,
Yes we would.
Actually, it's done in the version currently available in the beta channel. :bigsmile:
Once the update is done, try this:
- Close your LiberKey menu.
- Go to the folder "LiberKeyTools\LiberKeyMenu\data" and edit the file named "user_prefs.xml" (please, make a backup before modifying it)
You must add a new part into the xml code like this:
Code: Select all
<LiberKeyMenu>
   <UserConfig>
(--- Just after the UserConfig tag, insert something like that: ---)

      <LiberKeyFolders>
         <MyDocuments>%DRIVE%\MyPortableDocuments</MyDocuments>
      </LiberKeyFolders>

(--- leave the end of the file unchanged ---)
      (...)
   </UserConfig>
</LiberKeyMenu>
- restart your LiberKey.

The path used by the LiberKey menu should now be the one you specified.
