Viewing post in Where does Drafft save projects?

Hello! Unfortunately there is no customization yet for project folders: Projects and user settings are saved in Per-user application data directory, which by default points to:

%APPDATA% on Windows
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME or ~/.config on Linux
~/Library/Application Support on macOS

example in Linux:

~/.config/drafft ls -lh

I agree it would be nice to make it more portable and customizable! Hope it helps!

Meanwhile a (rather cumbersome) workaround you could try is using exports. but its not what you are asking for.

No, this is great. If I did it thought the export option, would I import it using the "Restore Database from file in a new project"?

Also, since I have your attention, I love this product. I bought it a couple months ago, and hadn't used it a lot, but since you have added GML to Drafft I use it daily and I have made more progress with my project in 2 weeks than I have in 2 years. I have ADHD and this is one of the few organizational/project management products that actually helps keep me on track. So thank you a lot, this is a great tool and I hope you continue to update it and make it even better than it already is. I really appreciate all of your work on this amazing product!

Yes, “Restore Database from file in a new project” would be the workaround, it’s not really thought to be used as a “portable” save system, but might work! I will add “Customize Install location” as a feature request. Another approach could be just copying/syncing the %APPDATA%/drafft folder (untested)

Thanks! It really means a lot!! I have a few ideas on next features to add, and comment like this are really motivating. I’m really glad you are finding the tool useful.
