I'm one of those people where everything must be in its' place, and its' place is always somewhere other than the author intended.

I'd like to move the ‘Scratch Projects’ folder on my mac from its default location of ~/Documents/Scratch\ Projects to somewhere else. However, I think Scratch is so friendly, it can't even conceive I'd want to do that! I've looked high and low for documentation, flags, settings, config and ini files that may let me change it, to no avail.

Does anyone here have any ideas? Is this even possible?

TIA for any pointers!

Dave

Hmm, not sure where those superfluous apostrophes came in from!

I found a .ini file in the end, which suggested I do this:

Home=\Users\*\Learning\Scratch Projects
(* is replaced with the current user, the notes say).

However, starting Scratch 1.4 after this causes a pop-up error to appear, giving me the sense my solution is going wrong.

Any ideas?

TIA, Dave

Instead of using \Users\*\ you could try using the tilde (~) to get to your home directory.

It might look something like this:

~\Learning\Scratch Projects

I'm not sure if this will work though due to the fact I use Windows instead, but I have used Debian for some time and did something like that to access my home folder.

Are you on UNIX or Windows? The former example file path is UNIX-style (/Users/…) while the latter is Windows-like (Users\…).

I think you didn't notice something.

Mac is Unix.

I know it is. That's why I said what I said.
