Changing Data Directory Location

I originally set my Data Directory Location to a custom location without problems. I now want to move it back to the default location but I don't want to mess up my zotero as it is running perfectly. Do I just copy the zotero folder (containing "storage", "styles" etc) from this location to the default location (/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/<randomstring>/zotero) and re-open Firefox/Zotero and change the location in Preferences>Advanced?

I also use iDisk WebDAV for file syncing. Just making sure this won't mess anything up.

  • Yes, pretty sure that should work smoothly. Remember to
    a) _Copy_ not _Move_ the folder so you have a back-up in the unlikely case something doesn't work out
    b) Do the copying while Firefox is closed.

    I don't see how this should affect your WebDAV syncing, so no worries there, either.
