Can we change Preference profile folder location

[Jeff81]

Want to know if there is a way to change the location where preferences and settings are saved. Basically I want to move this folder somewhere else.
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\PLSQL Developer 12

We have a unique issue where we have to from home, remote to a Citrix server and then remote desktop to our computer. During this our user profile is not passed through. So none of my PL/SQL developer preferences crash recovery come through. Very frustrating when have to work from home.

Thanks

You can use the PREFPATH parameter. It can either be set on the command line or in the Params.ini file in the PL/SQL Developer installation directory. For example:

PREFPATH=X:\PLS\Preferences

The preferences will be stored in a user-specific subdirectory under this directory.

Does this also work for Crash Recovery? I need everything that is in the "Roaming" folder to be moved.

This does not apply to the crash recovery. You can use the RECOVERYDIR parameter for this purpose. For example:

RECOVERYDIR=X:\PLS\Recovery

Note that this directory must be user-specific though.

I have the preferences working but I am having trouble with Crash Recovery, it is not loading it when I open a new instance.
I moved everything from c:\...\Roaming\PLSQL Developer 12\PLS-Recovery
to
D:\PLSQL Developer Recovery\

And then set
RECOVERYDIR=D:\PLSQL Developer Recovery

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Does it work when you open a single instance, kill the process, and restart the instance?
