has this happened to anyone else with newest v2.5.1 update? been using VCV for a long time and don’t think I’ve ever encountered this before.
sorry, seems to be loading now, must be something I overlooked!
Yes this happened to me as well. Everything got moved (deleted) Crazy Frustrated!
Read the release notes. It describes moving the User folder.
- Move Rack user folder to:
- Mac:
~/Library/Application Support/Rack2
- Windows:
AppData/Local/Rack2
- Linux:
~/.local/share/Rack2
- Mac:
Can we opt not to move VCV Rack to appdata. My Documents is on my D drive; appdata is on C drive and it’s full. My Rack2 folder would be the largest folder in appdata (if it fit)
if you set the user environment variable RACK_USER_DIR to “D:\my_user_documentsdir\rack2”, or where your user dir is located in rack 2.4.1 before running 2.5, it won’t move it. link to source
press WIN+R and then type SystemPropertiesAdvanced
Worked like a charm, thanks
That’s the solution indeed. I use it to synchronize différents clouds with symbolic links from different locations on my PC… Alain
I read somewhere this location move was to solve access problems located on clouds. Alain
