CityDiscoverer
The Data Path
- If you want to put your Data directory in another location, or in several
different locations on your machine, then you should edit your Data Path.
- The easiest way to do this is to use the Terrain
Manager Dialog.
The tridicon™ CityDiscoverer.xml file
- Alternately, you can edit your
tridicon™ CityDiscoverer.xml
file. This file is
created (if it does not exist) the first time you run CityDiscoverer.
It is located in your settings folder.
On Windows, this is typically C:\Documents and Settings\User\Application
Data
On Unix, it is typically your account's home folder.
- If you have data in multiple places, you can simply put more than one "
DataPath
"
element into the tridicon™ CityDiscoverer.xml
file, and all the data on all the paths will be available to all the tridicon™ CityDiscoverer
applications.
- A path can be relative or absolute, and should leave on a trailing
slash. For example, the default path is:
<DataPath>../Data/</DataPath>
You could change it to paths such as these, depending on your platform:
<DataPath>../../Data/</DataPath>
<DataPath>C:\MyData\</DataPath>
<DataPath>/home/me/mydata/</DataPath>
