In the 8.5 release notes -
Change save locations for databases, studies, logs and file cache
Users can now define preferred paths and locations for MultiCharts’ databases, studies, logs and file cache. This may be especially useful if you have an SSD drive or not enough permissions in certain shared environments.
I can't see any option to change the path in Multicharts? Can someone point me to the setting?

Re: Changing Database location
Thanks for your reply. Isn't that exact same process that we have used to change DB paths in all the previous versions of Multicharts?
Why put it in the release notes as a new feature? I thought they might have put in something like a prompt during the install process or in the Options/Preferences window to justify it as a "new feature"?
I think the Developers might be slacking off and padding the release notes! Someone should keep an eye on those dodgy buggers )

Re: Changing Database location
Some keys were broken and not working, some were missing before.Why put it in the release notes as a new feature?
But some remained the same, that is true.Isn't that exact same process that we have used to change DB paths in all the previous versions of Multicharts?
Re: Changing Database location
Change registry keys is not too "user friendly" for all and is extremely dangerous, i think this is not new feature, is "reported" feature

Re: Changing Database location
We are going to add ability to redefine the Preferred Paths for user data from GUI in one of the next versions of MultiCharts.
