Spyder Directory about spyder HOT 3 OPEN

Hey @Damien6345, thanks for reporting. You said:

Is it possible to change the temporary directory

Yes, it is. You need to start from the command line with the command

spyder --conf-dir C:/Users/XXXXX/documents/.spyder3

to use that directory other directory for your settings.

Let us know if that works as expected for you.

Hello

Thank you for your reply.
I've made some progress, and I've achieved what I want by modifying the spyder.ini file directly, i.e. changing the language, setting another default directory for the new files, i.e. in my case C:\Users\admin\Documents instead of C:\Users\admin .
Here are two things I'd like to know for my Windows computer rooms:

• Is it possible for all new user sessions to use the same pre-customised .ini file with the same configuration, which would be different from the default configuration, for example, when a new user logs on to the machine, so that for example the language defined does not revert to the default language, and the same goes for the default directory?
• Is it possible to change the default opening behaviour of Spyder and temp.py which is stored by default on C:\Users\admin.spyder-py3\temp.py

Thanks

Yes, you need to place a spyder.ini file with your desired options (it doesn't need to be a copy of your user spyder.ini, just one with the options you want to customize) in one of the directories listed by the command:

spyder --paths

We haven't tested that too much, but it should do the trick.

Users can change it by going to the menu Tools > Preferences and then

Editor > Advanced settings > Edit template for new files

but I think we don't have a way to change it for all users in a system.
