how to change Digital Editions folder location

Jul 13, 2008 11:13 AM

Is there any way at all to change the location of the Digital Editions folder out of my Documents folder? I am using OS X 10.4, I tried moving it, but then when I open the Digital Editions app it doesn't show my library.

    ADE expects for there to be a Digital Editions folder in your Documents directory. If one doesn't exist it will be created it for you. We didn't put in any flexibility or preferences for this (or just about anything else), however if you don't mind using the terminal you can create a symbolic link using the "ln" command (with -s option). For example assuming you copied your Digital Editions folder to the root folder on your hard drive and renamed it to myLibrary the command would look like:

    ln -s /myLibrary ~/Documents/Digital\ Editions

    Good Luck

    How can you make this work on windows? The "mklink" program, which accomplishes much the same thing as "ln" does not seems to work?
