Struggles with path to .zbstudio using Windows 10 and domain login.

[jjvbsag]

We have some users, which are working on W10 and use a domain login. Now:

ZeroBraneStudio.ini is located at C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\ZeroBraneStudio.ini which is fine. But .zbstudio\ is located at \\<domainserver>\user\<username>\.zbstudio\ which causes trouble.

I could not locate the reference, where path to .zbstudio is created in ZBS.

Is there any posibility to override the path of .zbstudio to have it at C:\Users\<username>\.zbstudio\ ? or at least at C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\.zbstudio\ ?

Regards

PS: And no, we cannot change windows environment such as HOMEDRIVE or HOMEPATH, because they are predefined and fixed by IT deparment :-1:

@jjvbsag, why do you care where .zbstudio folder is located? Is it to place the packages there? There are two commands -- include and package -- that allow you to specify where the location of (other) configuration files or package folders/files should be, so you can add those to the main config or pass to the launch command using the -cfg option. See the documentation for details.

Another option is to set HOME variable to point to C:\Users\<username>\ location (HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH are checked if HOME is not set), which will then generate C:\Users\<username>\.zbstudio\ path.

Feel free to re-open if this doesn't satisfy your needs.

@pkulchenko My users do care. Because ZBS behaves different depending on

• "user is logged into domain" => \\<domainserver>\user\<username>\.zbstudio\ or
• "user is not logged into domain" => C:\Users\<username>\.zbstudio\

This makes it difficult for them to keep settings, user packages, open project, ... in sync on both situations. Note: Not all of them are experts...

About setting HOME: I will try tomorrow on one of the affected users laptop. But I'm quite sure, IT has disabled these settings.

"Feel free to re-open if this doesn't satisfy your needs." How this? I have no "re-open" button in GitHub.

"user is logged into domain" => \\user\.zbstudio\ or "user is not logged into domain" => C:\Users\.zbstudio\

Good point; I think using -cfg parameter with package=[[C:\Users\<username>\.zbstudio\]] passed to it, should do it then.

How this? I have no "re-open" button in GitHub.

I see [Reopen and comment] right next to green [Comment] button under the text box.

[jjvbsag]

@pkulchenko :clown_face: I believe, you can see [Reopen and comment] because you are the owner of the project. Me as a :duck: user can not do that.

Because of this we in our company have the workflow:

• user creates issue
• maintainer fixes issue and set's it to "solved"
• user verifies fix and set's it to "still open" or "closed"

[jjvbsag]

@pkulchenko just a feedback. Overriding HOME in the user environment was possible and has the wanted effect. So this is now also closed for me. Regards

@jjvbsag, got it; thank you for the update!
