Location Manager

manage permanent storage locations

How to reach the location manager in the black menu and an example view of the location manager

Working with the Location Manager

To create a new location, click on the plus button in the lower left and enter the details (see below). By clicking on a location, you can see and edit the details. To remove a location, click on the desired location and on the minus button in the lower left.

Default storage locations

Click on the settings icon in the lower right to configure the default storage locations.

This configures in which locations new files will be stored. Locations marked as read-only cannot be used here.

Already existing files are still used in all locations, not only the default locations.
