Moving MapTool

Post by Hemdian »

I’m a newbie running MapTool on Windows7 and I see that it creates a directory called “.maptool” with a load of subdirectories in “C:\Users\<me>”. However I am using an SSD for my C drive and so I’d prefer to relocate this to another disk. How do I do this?

Set the System Property "MAPTOOL_DATADIR" to the location you want to use.

Code: Select all

set MAPTOOL_DATADIR=E:\mymtdata

Search the forum for the phrase that Phergus described -- there are other ways to set the value as well and they're discussed in the other threads on this topic.
