1  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Armory - Discussion Thread on: March 31, 2014, 03:39:40 AM
Hi, Im using Armory version .90 and Im trying to change the default folder where it stores the DB (I have an SSD drive and dont want the huge DB there).

I am doing exactly as it says on the Armory trouble shooting page and have changed the target on my short cut to

"I:\Program Files (x86)\Armory\ArmoryQt.exe" –dbdir=I:\armoryDB"

yet it still keeps creating the DB in

 c:\users\user\appdata\roaming\armory  

wtf am I doing wrong?

thanks for any help



Make sure it's "--dbdir" with two dashes.  I'm super irritated by Wordpress which keeps replacing the double-dashes with single-long-dashes on the webpage, trying to be useful... but screwing it up for people like you!

Also, I recommend, if possible, to just move the whole --datadir, not just the --dbdir:  it's simpler if everything is kept in one place (--datadir moves the databases and all wallets and settings)

omg, thank you so much!! ill use --datadir as well. cheers!

same thing if I try and use -datadir, it just ignores it and stays with the same default folder

wtf am I doing wrong?
