Technical Support / Re: Installing Bitshares Client on USB drive and changing Data Directory.

 Thank you Xeroc and Riverhead for your help.

 Riverhead, you were really close to the solution... . As I couldn´t finish to make it work I contacted a person involved in the development of the project.

  The final answer to the problem is:

---------------------------------------
Hi, Ben. You almost had it! To run the GUI with a custom data directory, you will need to run it with the arguments "--data-dir X:\00Datadir". The GUI does not understand the flag if you include an = between the flag and its value. Also, at present the only argument the GUI understands is the --data-dir argument.
---------------------------------------

Dear friends, thank you again for your help.

Best regards.

p.s.: I have also tried with the parameter -data=x:\00Datadir (with one "-")

Hello Riverhead, thank you for answering. I have tried your indications the following way:

I started all over again with a new virtual drive. I installed the client on drive x in this case.
Once the installation has finished, I have created a shortcut of the file x:\BitSharesX\bin\BitSharesX.exe
at the root of x (x:\BitSharesX.lnk. I´m working with win xp pro).

I have created a folder for the data to be contained named x:\00Datadir
Then I have edited the properties of the shortcut as follows:

Destination: X:\BitSharesX\bin\BitSharesX.exe --data=x:\00Datadir
Start in: X:\BitSharesX\bin

The Client starts normally, but no data is created in x:\00Datadir.

Please help me, if it is possible, to understand what I have missed.

Thanks again.

Technical Support / Installing Bitshares Client on USB drive and changing Data Directory. (RESOLVED)

Hello, I've just installed the Bitshares client inside an encrypted disk mounted on a USB drive. There was no problem with that. However, when I tried to use the client in another computer, I have noticed that something was missing, because the program asked me to create a new wallet (starting from the beginning, cause I had created a wallet running in the first computer already.). Inspecting the first computer, I could see that Bitshare software creates also a directory in the Users Program Data location in the Windows installation drive. I also could see that when the client is running, that directory grows constantly. My questions about all of that are:

1) Is it possible to migrate the data directory to the portable installation situated in the USB drive so that I would be able to run it without having to import the wallet created before?

2) The growing data folder is a blockchain of transactions that is getting synchronized? If this is so, what is the actual size of it?


Thank you,
