WARNING - New Installations

The file config.ini can be modified to set another data folder location, however when a new version is installed, then this file will be overwritten with the default file.

 

 

config.ini Alternative

Instead of overwriting the value in config.ini, the data directory can also be set with a commandline pamameter, e.g.

"C:\Program Files\MyTourbook\mytourbook.exe" -data c:\mydata
