Configuration file

From PowerFolder Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

PowerFolder stores important settings in a configuration file called "PowerFolder.config".

Contents

Location

The config file is located in the directory %USER_HOME%/.PowerFolder.

Possible locations:

  • Windows: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\.PowerFolder
  • Windows Vista: C:\Users\<username>\.PowerFolder
  • Linux/Mac: ~/.PowerFolder

Make sure your file browser shows hidden/system files.

Editing

The config file can be edited with a simple text editor (e.g. Notepad). Make sure PowerFolder is stopped when editing it otherwise your changed might get overwritten by PowerFolder.

Folder settings

To change the local directory on a system not running a graphical user interface (e.g. Linux server) simply edit the corresponding lines of the PowerFolder in the config file.

Example: 

folder.Work.dir=C\:\\MY_CUSTOM_DIRECTORY\\.
folder.Work.dontuserecyclebin=false
folder.Work.id=[4zCCCCds3435zrzreAuL6xEOcToXA]
folder.Work.secret=true
folder.Work.syncprofile=true,true,true,true,5,false,12,0,m

Other settings

Many options of the config file can be found here (Login required: dev-trial/dev-trial).
