To be able to change plugins location

[Maryannah]

• [x] I am on the latest Hyper.app version
• [x] I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate

• Windows 10 Pro edition:
• Version 2.1.2:
• No modification to .hyper.js, except for the shell set to use bash:
• No relevant information in the dev tools
• The issue is reproducible in vanilla Hyper.app

Issue

This is not an issue per se, but rather a request for improvement. I haven't seen this feature existing on the official web page, nor any issue opened about that, but then again, I'm not the best github user, so I apologize if it's a duplicate !

I would like to be able to change the plugins location : I am currently on a corporate computer, that limits the use of the user directory in windows. Using NPM simply destroys that limit (which is like 100MB), and produces annoying results on said computer.

Would it be possible to add a property to the config, stating where th plugins are located ?

Thank you for your time and interest !

As a temporary solution until this is implement (Which may not even happen, who knows), you can always use symbolic links.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/mklink

mklink /J .hyper_plugins "{{PATH TO SOMEWHERE ELSE}}"

I have mine like this (Account name commented out for various reasons): mklink /J "C:\Users\***\.hyper_plugins" "D:\hyper\hyper_plugins"
