By default, when creating new projects in the desktop client, Datical will use user's home directory as default location. For example, on Windows, the default project directory would be "C:\Users\<username>\datical". This location may not be desirable. This document guides how to change the default location for your projects to another location, e.g., “C:\Apps\datical”.

Step-by-step guide

  1. In your Datical installation directory (“c:\Apps\DaticalDB”), there is a “datical.ini” file. Open this file in a text editor. It will look like this:
    1. -startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.2.0.v20110502.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_64_1.1.100.v20110502
-data
@user.home/datical
-clean
-vm
jre/bin/javaw.exe
-vmargs
-Dlogback.configurationFile=./logging-config.xml
-DMSSQL_DRIVER_PROPERTIES=./mssql_driver.properties
-DLIQUIBASE_LOG_LEVEL=INFO
-Xmx2024m
  2. Modify the line #6 to “C:/Apps/datical”.
    1. Notice the use of forward slashes instead of backslashes.
  3. Save the file. Restart Datical Client GUI.
  4. With this change all your new projects will be created in “C:\Apps\datical” directory.
