Directories and Files
Configuration Directory
Your SlickEdit
®
Core configuration directory contains configuration files representing the changes you
have made through setting editor options, and it preserves the state of SlickEdit Core by using the state
file,
vslick.sta
.
Directory Location
By default, the configuration directory is located in
My Documents/My SlickEdit Core Config/
<Version>
on Windows, and
$HOME/.secore/<Version>
on Linux. You can view the path to the
config directory by clicking Help
→
About SlickEdit Core .
Changing the Configuration Directory
If you would like to use a different directory for your config files, you can pass the –vsconfig argument to
Eclipse. This works the same as passing any argument to
eclipse.exe
(or
eclipse
on Linux). For ex-
ample: C:\Path_To_Eclipse\eclipse.exe –vsconfig=C:\My_Config .
You can also change the location of the SlickEdit
®
Core metadata directory by using the –vsmetadata ar-
gument: C:\Path_To_Eclipse \eclipse.exe -vsmetadata=C:\My_Metadata . Both options can be used at
the same time.
You can also change the configuration directory permanently through the SlickEdit Core Preferences
page. Click
Window
→
Preferences
→
SlickEdit , then use the Configuration Directory and Metadata
Directory group boxes.
