Hello, How do I change data directory location in Windows 11 ?
I already read wiki about data directory, but I can't find how to change data directory in Windows.

Thank you.

On Windows 10 it works like this
trilium.bat

SET TRILIUM_DATA_DIR=%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\trilium-data
start %USERPROFILE%\Programs\Trilium\trilium.exe

I guess it is the same on Windows 11

should I run that bat file every time I open trilium or should I just run it once ? Sorry I'm new.
Thank you

You use bat file to start trilium every time (instead of your current method of starting the app)
Additionally, you can make shortcut (lnk) file for the bat file and put it to Start Menu for example.
