Slick EDIT V3.3 - Manual (Page 506)

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.
