cfg and data files in different data dir

[garlic]

I would like to know how to configure hdsentinel 4.4. to use a data dir not program files or the registry for storing data and configuration. From a different thread I understand that there is an option to define a different data dir. But in V. 4.4 i cannot find this item.
XML export is in my understanding only a way to export data and the program files directory is still written.

Yes, this is possible - but only in Hard Disk Sentinel Professional version.
In Hard Disk Sentinel Professional version, at the window (Configuration -> Advanced options) there is a button which can be used to configure where Hard Disk Sentinel Pro should store all settings, statistics, logs and further data files.

Yes, the XML export is a different function: it can be used to automatically export detected information (in addition to the internal database / statistics) as it can be opened and processed by other, third party tools.

Thanks for answering.

Yes I use the standard edition. Anyway I managed to use my persistent ramdisk by using symbolic links for the relevant files and it works. Please do not "disable" this in further releases of the standard release.

Thanks for your answer.
Excuse me, it is not really "disabled" - only the Professional version has the required functions to re-direct the configuration and statistic files to other folder (this is why the Portable version is also available only from the Professional version).
