Advise on file location for var. storage
« on: August 11, 2004, 09:25:53 AM »
I have a little app I use for storing and retrieving variables. In the past I've kept this file in the same locale as the acad.exe. Now I'm in the process of updating the app and thinking about changing that file location. I have considered using '(getenv "USERPROFILE")' as the path to the file. Any other ideas on where might be a good place to store this file?

thanks

other than creating your own "custom" directory for storage.... the usual suspect ~ Support directory ?

Well I'd like to stay away from the adesk stuff if at all possible. A custom dir might work but i'd have to store that location also. Well maybe not. How about (getenv "ProgramFiles") eveyone else uses that sucker. :D

thanks for the feedback hendie.
