How can I update the directory path for prefsdir?

[This topic is migrated from our old forums. The original author name has been removed]

I am using version 8.0.8. My home drive was moved to a new server so I need to update the prefsdir. Are I able to update the directory path? When I open the program I now get an error as it can nolonger find the directory.

Bob, The standard location for the DbVisualizer preferences directory is: Windows: C:\Users\\.dbvis Linux/Unix: /home//.dbvis Mac OS X: /Users//.dbvis To set an alternative prefsdir path open the dbvis.vmoptions file in a text editor. This file is located in the root directory for the DbVisualizer installation. Add on a new row: -Ddbvis.prefsdir= Change to the new location of this directory. Regards Roger
