How to change the workingDir automatically set by OpenFOAM? #354

Hi, guys.

Originally, I logged in my computer using a Microsoft account. Considering that the Microsoft account's name is a full name that has a whitespace, I relogged in my computer using a local account. So, I have two user folders in C:\Users. After I installed everything, such as docker, VB, OpenFOAM, I found the workingDir automatically set by OF_Env_Create is in my local user folder and all other things were in my Microsoft account user folder, including the OpenFOAM file generated by Butterfly. So, when I generated mesh and loaded mesh in Dynamo using Butterfly, it told me an error that said "Failed to find points file". And when I opened OpenFOAM_Start.exe, cd workingDir and type ls, I found there were nothing in workingDir.

So, how can I manage it and deal with this problem? Thanks a lot in advance.
