Location of Oxygen option files

[SteveH]

Is it possible to change the location of the Oxygen options files oxyAuthorOptionsSa9.3 and OxyOptionsSa9.3? At the moment both of these live in my roaming profile and I would like to move them to another location to free up profile space.

Hello,

You can change the default location for the options files with the startup parameter -Dcom.oxygenxml.ApplicationDataFolder=NEW_FOLDER_LOCATION where NEW_FOLDER_LOCATION is the full path of the new folder.

So a directory such as:

Code: Select all

-Dcom.oxygenxml.ApplicationDataFolder="C:\Program Files\Oxygen XML Editor 9.0\ApplicationData\"

Added to oxygen.vmoptions should be okay if I transferred all my options files, history, layouts and spelling files? At the moment I can't lauch the applications as they open as if they are being run for the first time. It looks like they are not picking up the application data location.

Is the string for Author the same as Oxygen but with

Code: Select all

.editor.

added?

If the folder set with the parameter -Dcom.oxygenxml.ApplicationDataFolder does not contain the user options files Oxygen resets the options to the default values when it is started up with that parameter.

The name of the parameter is the same for the Author application.
