Hi,

I love sparky, but I find its default directory organization in SPARKYHOME cumbersome, especially for multiple sets of data. Currently, whenever I load files, I have to navigate through the system path to the local directories where I store processed spectra, assignments, etc. This can be a lot of navigating, and Sparky doesnt always consistently remember the last working directory--so Ill typically have to navigate repeatedly if I want to open several spectra, assginments, etc.

Alternatively, I could set SPARKYHOME to the current working directory (CWD, .), but then Im prompted to create the home directories every time I run sparky from a new location. Even then, Im still stuck with extra directories that Id need to delete later.

Is there any way to set all three SPARKYHOME directories (Projects, Lists, Saves) to the CWD so that I dont have to bother with its data store anymore? Im comfortable modifying the python source, but I havent found where this information may be stored there.

Thanks,
Nick
