Part 7 · Tree Styles & Settings

Data & storage

Treetor keeps a working copy of your trees in one local data folder. Settings › Data & storage shows the folder this installation uses and lets you move it to a bigger drive or another local location.

Where your data lives

The info card is read-only; the fields under it change the folder.

  • Current data folder — the folder this installation is using right now. It does not change when you sign in or out.
  • Author database directory — where Treetor keeps Treetor.db and one media folder per tree.
  • Account settings file — the per-Windows-user file that remembers which data folder this installation opens.
  • Workspace marker — records which account owns Sync for this folder; it does not hide or lock local trees.
  • Custom data folder — leave empty for the default under Documents, or point it anywhere.
  • Folder path — type a path or use Browse….
  • Browse… — pick the folder in a dialog; Reset returns to the default.
  • Save — stores the choice. The new folder is used after you restart Treetor.

Moving existing trees

Saving a new folder does not move anything by itself: after a restart the new folder starts empty. To take your trees with you, click Copy existing data to new folder before restarting — it copies the database, every tree's media, and the folder's Sync metadata. The old folder is left in place until you delete it yourself.
