Jamovi change default file save path

[AndreasB]

Hey!

We use the Downloads folder as the default file save path for Office within our University for Students. It is set with GPO.

As there is no GPO you can set for the same change for Jamovi. I wonder is there any other way to change it within Jamovi?

[jonathon]

so jamovi should "remember" where you last saved your files ... or are you wanting to set the default?

Set the default.

[jonathon]

take a look in the user AppData folder ... under windows i think this is C:\Users\Username\AppData\ ... and you should find a folder for jamovi in there, and once you've found that, you should find a settings.json file.

if you set it to something like:

{"main": {"mainWorkingDir": "{{Downloads}}", ...

you should have it default to the downloads folder.

cheers

{"main": {"mainWorkingDir": "{{Downloads}}", "openPlace": "thispc"}, "modules": {}, "backstage": {}}

Saddenly it did not work.

[jonathon]

fire up jamovi, open a file from downloads, close jamovi, reopen, check that it defaults to that last location ... then go and take a look at that settings.json and figure out what it's doing. this can't not work
