Each user logged into Windows gets their own personal data folder, known as "Documents". Source Insight creates a "Source Insight 4.0" folder under the "Documents" folder to contain user-specific data.
The user data directory contains the user-specific configuration settings file (config_all.xml) and the workspace file for the "no project open" mode, and project data.
The following folders are created in the current user's Source Insight folder:
|
