Help custom Windows Workspace directory

[John Little]

I'm having trouble creating a custom directory for OpenRefine Workspace on Windows 7.  

I tried the following command in the installed OpenRefine Directory:

refine.bat /d c:\foo

OpenRefine launched fine but the workspace remained in 

...Users\<<myID>>\AppData\Local\OpenRefine

The FAQ - https://github.com/OpenRefine/OpenRefine/wiki/FAQ#how-do-i-change-the-workspace-directory-that-i-want-refine-to-use-for-its-project-storage- 

Shows this example:  

./refine -p 3333 -i 0.0.0.0 -m 6000M -d /where/you/want/the/workspace

But the Windows argument (/d) appears to be used to turn debugging on.


Is there a parameter I can set in the refine.ini that will allow me to customized the work space directory in Windows 7 - using Version 2.6-beta.1 [TRUNK]?

Check the FAQ again... I just updated with new instructions to help you out. :)  Sorry that the options don't work well for Windows.

I noticed we have it in the refine.ini file...but even there, it doesn't get picked up for Windows users. But the below new instructions in the FAQ should work for all OS users.

• Alternatively, you can update and add a preference at http://127.0.0.1:3333/preferences ,

  KEY = refine.data_dir
  VALUE = T:\MyOpenRefineDataFolder

Thanks for the help.  Too bad, about Windows.  That changes my question a bit.  I'll open another thread.
