Upgrade to 28.0.0 moved configuration directory

[rdauben]

I upgraded from v27.0.2 to v28.0.0 (Win64) and my configuration directory was moved from being under "Documents/My SlickEdit Config" to "C:\Users\<myname>\AppData\Local\SlickEdit\28.0.0".  My Help-About is copied below.

How can I move it back?

Thanks.
Ron

The reason it got moved is that there have been some I/O problems due to Microsoft OneDrive.

You can specify where your configuration is stored by using the "-sc <path>" invocation option.

You can also the environment variable "SLICKEDITCONFIG=-sc <path>"

This change bit me a little bit as well.

On starting v28 for the first time after installation, I got an error dialog stating:

There were errors loading the following user modules (from def_macfiles).

followed by a list of the macros with this format
    MISSING: ..\macros\<filename>.ex

So, I copied my macros folder to the new config directory and uninstalled and reinstalled SE. 

It would have been nice for the installer to take care of that for me.

Edit: Re-installing still didn't load the macros.  I ended up manually loading them.

Thanks for the tip.  I tried the -sc command line option and it works for that invocation, but it does not "remember" the setting.  It still defaults back to my AppData location.  So I set the SLICKEDITCONFIG variable and that works for every invocation, including the auto-launch from double-clicking a .c file.

Your example shows the environment variable "SLICKEDITCONFIG=-sc <path>".  But I believe the "-sc" is not required. Can you confirm?

[Clark]

You’re right. That environment variable is just set to a path.
