Settings Lost in FreeCad 0.20

[metty]

I use FreeCad and FreeCad Daily. But I noticed that with Daily (0.20) the workbenches are missing and the settings are not loaded. I assume they are still in the .FreeCAD folder in my home directory right? Or is it now somewhere else? I suspect it is an error during installation, however I don't know. How do I check this?

Thanks!
So the place for 0.20 daily is:

Code: Select all

~/.local/share/FreeCAD$

Code: Select all

~/.local/share/FreeCAD

Hello all. I think it moved again. I tried to copy the mods into

Code: Select all

~/.local/share/FreeCAD/Mod/

, but noting happened. Where are the mods now?

...

try to post the output of this command pasted in the Python Console:

Code: Select all

print(FreeCAD.ConfigDump())

Among others it will print:

Code: Select all

'SystemParameter': '/home/common/FreeCAD/config-dev-eng/system.cfg',
'UserAppData': '/home/common/FreeCAD/config-dev-eng/',
'UserCachePath': '/home/common/FreeCAD/config-dev-eng/temp/',
'UserConfigPath': '/home/common/FreeCAD/config-dev-eng/',
'UserHomePath': '/home/common/FreeCAD/config-dev-eng',
'UserMacroPath': '/home/common/FreeCAD/config-dev-eng/',
'UserParameter': '/home/common/FreeCAD/config-dev-eng/user.cfg'

So it is clear from where your running FC is taking configurations.
