Every time I launch 6.0.4, KiCAD creates a folder tree in the root level of my Documents folder.
I already have a subfolder dedicated to my KiCAD files and I’d like the program to work within that subfolder instead.
Where do I go to make sure the path variable is set properly? I’m using the macOS version.
I’ve tried all the menus I could think of, and it still creates that folder every time.
In the config file kicad_common.json there is an entry for working_dir. Mine’s set to my home directory which obviously exists. I think it’s only used as a starting point in print dialogues and doesn’t affect project folders. I wonder if yours is set to ~/Documents/Kicad or something like that.
I THINK I found the config file, but the entry in question points to the application folder, not the documents folder.
You can’t turn that off at the moment.
