[Qgis-user] Sextante: setting the output folder

[Paulo van Breugel]

Thanks for the reply and your explanation, yes, it makes things clearer, 
thanks.

What I tried to do is to change the location of the 'Sextante' folder. 
This is now automatically created in my home folder each time I start up 
QGIS (if it isn't already there). I would like to have that folder in 
another location that better fits how I organize my folders.

I though I could change that in the general settings, but I think I 
misunderstood that option. Does this mean the location of the folder 
sextante is 'hard coded' somewhere as 'home/sextante'? If so, is there a 
way I can change that? I hope my question makes sense, otherwise, I 
might not have understood things completely after all :-/

Cheers,

Paulo
