Moving "My Digital Editions" folder

[_walt_lammert_]

I am trying to move the "My Digital Editions" folder from the default location under "My Documents". When I do so, I have to add my ebooks back to the library (which is OK), but Digital Editions also then adds a "My Digital Editions" folder with a manifest.xml file back under "My Documents".

Is there anyway to change the default location of this "My Digital Editions" folder?

I just installed ADE on Win 10 and have many books on External drives. To use the library is to copy the books to my user profile, Digital something. I don't want those on my C: drive and will delete. I wonder of this is what maxed out my Apple MacBook Air.

The following will work well if you don't actually care if the Digital Editions folder is taking up space in this part of your HD, but you simply don't want to SEE it every dang time you open your Documents folder!

In short, the folder is still there and accessible, but  not visible to you.

The Adobe Digital Editions App still opens find and finds my books after I did this:

4: Make the file/folder hidden 1

In Terminal, type chflags hidden and then drag a folder or file you want to hide into the Terminal window; you can still access those hidden folders and files by summoning the Go To Folder dialog (Command-Shift-G) and typing in their full paths. To unhide them, go back to Terminal and type chflags nohidden followed by the file or folder path.

Maybe make a note to yourself that you did this incase you need to remember where the heck it is in the future.

I had some trouble getting the symlink option to work but found this simple and quick solution (for mac)  via this article: https://www.macworld.com/article/2030765/os-x/8-ways-to-hide-files-and-folders-in-os-x.html

I have the same problem. Onedrive hijacked the install and now the My Digital Editions folder is unnecessarily wasting space in OneDrive. Do I have to reinstall and choose a different folder?
