Saving library on different hard drive

Hi guys,

I can't find how to change the default Library installation directory.
My C: drive is full and my library is 15go but I can't make it save itself on my other DATA E: drive.
How is it possible to change this ?

Thanks in advance
Alex

I think this requires a reinstall unless you're on Windows. There's a workaround for Windows. I think this how to might help you. https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/16226/complete-guide-to-symbolic-links-symlinks-on-windows-or-linux/

Backup your resource folder (see Step 1 of Method 3) by moving it to another location on C: drive (quick) or E: drive (slower)
Uninstall Logos
Reinstall from Step 2 of Method 3 --> selecting a Custom installation to E:\
Continue from Step 3
Delete the backup resource folder.

Keep Smiling 4 Jesus :)

Backup and re-install allows customization of folder on Windows. Logos wiki has => Install in different folder or drive

Symbolic link(s) can also be created on mac OS. Personally using one on a MacBook Air (MBA) for Resources folder on external USB thumb drive since internal SSD does not have enough space for all files, which is an unsupported configuration. Note: resource files are primarily read only so internal SSD has all the application files that are updated during normal use.

FYI: opening car door has allowed MBA to drop out with USB drive disconnecting and becoming several pieces. Thankfully have been able to reassemble USB drive and plug into MBA followed by Logos working.

Keep Smiling [:)]
