Changing default environment (default folder) in Canopy on Mac OSX


I want to change the default environment (the folder where my Canopy files are stored), which I previously set to 'Documents' folder. But now I want to change the folder. If I just delete the folders, Canopy creates them again automatically, indicating that somewhere inside its logs it has saved the default location address, and I want to change this default location address.


Solution

    1. Quit Canopy
    2. Delete the file ~/.canopy/locations.cfg. You can do this by opening a Terminal window and typing: rm ~/.canopy/locations.cfg
    3. Restart Canopy

    You'll be prompted again for your environment path.
