Is it possible to customize the location of profiles.ini?

johnmy
Hello all

The default location is C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Zotero\Zotero\profiles.ini, is it possible to customize the location of profiles.ini? Then after the Windows OS reinstalls, I can perform the zotero.exe, no need to restore the zotero settings.

Thanks.

    It looks like you can pass it a -profile <dir> command line switch to select a profile in a specific directory, but the location of profile.ini is not configurable. Under windows it would not be hard to change the shortcut to include that profile switch.

    @emilianoeheyns， thanks, it works if I run it in the Win +R, but in a bat file, it should be start D:\Zotero\zotero.exe -profile "E:\Profile\Zotero" , and run the bat file.

    That I can't help you with, I don't have access to a windows system.
