Changing location of google_appengine_launcher.ini

[Grzegorz Rekowski]

Hi,

By default Google appengine launcher is saving data in HOME deirectory typically: C:\Users\username\Google\

In this folder there are two files: google_appengine_launcher.ini and google_appengine_projects.ini

Is there a way to change this default location?

Hi Grzegorz!

Thank you for posting your issue here!

There is no way of changing this user home location for the Google directory. The Google App Engine Launcher would re-create it each time it is launched, in exactly the same location, together with a new google_appengine_launcher.ini file in it. 

You may consider moving the directory and creating symbolic links to allow proper functioning of the Launcher, if moving this directory is a must. 

What is the main reason for wanting to get rid of this directory? Let me know if I may help further.
