A question that comes up on a regular basis is:
  - where is my repository ? (see [1])

Another related question that comes sometimes as well is:
  - how can I use different repositories ?

I just added support for two new menu items under Test->Repository that allow better control of repository location:

  -> "New Repository"
  Selecting this menu item causes chandler to be setup to be restarted with
  a new repository in the location chosen in the popup

  -> "Switch Repository"
  Selecting this menu items causes chandler to be setup to be restarted with
  the selected location as the new location for your repository. If there is
  no repository at that selected location, your current repository is cloned
  into it (via backup) first.

In both cases, the current repository is not affected, only the location of the repository to be used from the next restart is changed. The current repository is not deleted or moved.

This new current repository location is stored in a chandler.prefs file saved in your installation's profile directory [1]. That chandler.prefs file may be used to override any valid Chandler command line option defaults and is an alternative to using command line options altogether or their corresponding environment variables.
