Post From: Store my Chartbooks into another folder for fast and easy backup without market data

Hello Sierra,

In an ideal world i'd like to be able to store my personal data (chartbooks and general settings) in a specific folder that is automatically backed up, and store the cached market data into another folder that is not backed up (as it is only a cache, and it takes huge amount of storage).

After reading the documentation i understand that this is not possible.

The solution i'm trying to setup is the following :

1. move the /data folder outside /sierrachart main folder, as documented => that is ok

2. setup the automatic backup on /sierrachart main folder, so that general settings are backed up => that is ok

3. for my chartbooks, the only way i see is to store them into a third folder (not /data nor /sierrachart), so that i can auto-backup it too - but each time i open SierraChart i have to change the folder in the Open Chartbook dialog.

Is there anything i did not understand ? Is there any easier way to do ? Is there a way to change the default chartbook folder ?

Thank you and sorry if i missed something.
