Question

How to move profile to new location

Hello all,

I use Robohelp 9 as a domain user with a roaming profile. Unfortunately the profile size is limited and can't be changed in size (IT limitation).

Is it possible to move the profile (C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Adobe\...) to a deticated other location (outside the roaming profile)?

Many thanks in advance & regards,

    Check with your IT people but my understanding is that the profile will only be seriously inflated if you keep My RoboHelp Projects in the default location AND use it to store your projects, otherwise it shouldn't contain too much.

    You can store your projects anywhere on your C drive (or other local partition) so that fixes that.

    RoboHelp also keeps copies of the sample projects in My RoboHelp Projects but you can move those too. RoboHelp of course will always look there for them so you will just have to remember you moved them.

    Many thanks for you fast reply!

    Adobe takes ~48MB, the (not changable) limit of the profile is 30MB :-(

    (Robohelp Skin Gallery is already larger than 30MB...)

    My RH projects itself are stored on a network drive already, RH samples are also already moved...

    Any other idea?

    Thanks again & regards,

    Please tell me you are not working on projects on a network. It is a known cause of project corruption. It's OK to store them there, just not to work on them there.

    I haven't looked but I thought the skin gallery was part of Program Files and not in your profile.

    Regardless though if IT are going to impose the limit it's for them to see what is causing the size. We may then be able to help with likely results.

    Are you saying I should not use network drives storing and working on my RH projects? We are working on network drives only to avoid any security risks by storing confidential data on local discs. In my opinion it is a serios issue (bug) if RH can't deal with network drives! :-((

    In my (standard) RH instrallation the skin gallery is located in the profile space. What would happen if i remove or move the skin gallery to a different location?

    Thanks again, regards & have a nice weekend,
