Dear Listers,

Using GRASS/QGIS under Linux usually, I am using QGIS 0.11.0 Metis under Windows on a teaching purpose and meet a problem with the writing permission given by default. All the students and myself are working with limited accounts, the administrator account being used just for managing the computers (this practice is recommendable for security and even compulsory under UNIX).

When I try to start a shell session in GRASS (grass tools), I get this message:

mkdir: cannot create directory `/home': Permission denied sh: cd: /home/giraudoux: No such file or directory

and then can work normally. I was not that much worried about that until I found that some GRASS functions (e.g. i.fusion.brovey)must write in the directory /home, of course unsuccessfully and thus fail. They can be used only if one has full rights on the computer including writing on the C:\Program Files directory (actually quite dodgy on a routine basis).

My question(s): am I right with this ? If so, is there a way to specify a by default directory other than C: that could be used for writing (e.g. into another partition, or into e.g. the application data of the user) ?

Thanks in advance for any hint,
Try setting the Windows HOME and/or HOMEDIR environment variable to point to user-writable directory.

Just dit it (eg U:\Documents and Settings\giraudoux, tried also U:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME% ) but it does not work.

Thanks anyway,

Patrick
