You need to run

pwd

in your current console.

Yes, thanks. We'll work on this for Spyder 3.2.

Yes, a good complete explanation is helpful. Once one understands

But I agree it is pretty complicated and un-intuitive. And even
having used Spyder for more than a year now, I still find myself
getting confused and having to stop periodically and check that I
am fully understanding what is going on.

There are three directories involved:
1. Toolbar directory
2. Console working directory
3. Base directory of the File Explorer

On the one hand, the base of the File Explorer and the Toolbar
always update to each other now, but on the other hand the
console working directory changes to match the Toolbar only in
response to a change initiated using the Toolbar.

In other words when one changes the folder in the Toolbar, both
the File Explorer and the console working directory update so
that they are the same as the Toolbar-- BUT if one changes the
folder in the File Explorer the Toolbar changes to match the File
Explorer and the console working directory does NOT change.

And meanwhile when the console working directory is changed using
commands in the console, neither the Toolbar nor the File
Explorer update or change.

Seems like it could all be arranged in a more intuitive way.
Maybe the main uses/functions of each of the three directories
should be spelled out and a new logic for how they relate to each
other could be considered. Are all three necessary? If so some
brief explanations of why would go a long way. If not, could the
Toolbar be dropped? I don't know.

For keeping all three, I tend to think that having the File
Explorer independent from the other two, and have the other two
(Toolbar and console working directory) always linked to each
other (i.e. if you update one then the other automatically gets
updated to match) would be a good configuration, if that was
possible (it may not be).

First, I've updated the Anaconda distribution on my Ubuntu

working directory manually on the IPython console, but it's
impractical and certainly won't motivate the students!

Thinking it could be a bug with the conda update, I've then
decided to give it a go at downloading and installing the
Anaconda for Windows on my home laptop (which is probably what
most of the students will do), and it also does not have the
"Set Console Working Directory" button.

By then I was thinking the new Spyder version might have
abandoned it, but strangely enough, the Spyder GitHub page has
a screenshot  of the new
Spyder 3 that HAS this exact same button (again: top right,
between the "folder" icon and the "up arrow" icon)!

EDIT: here 's a screenshot
of how my Spyder looks like in Windows (the big red arrow is
pointing towards where the icon should be).

Does anyone knows if there is a setting option that hides the
"Set console working directory" button, or if this is a bug in
the more recent Anaconda version that doesn't show it?

Many thanks!

Re: [spyder] Re: Spyder 3 “Set Console Working Directory” button missing

[fchirono]

Hi all,

So, slightly related issue: now the IPython console working directory 
updates automatically when I change the directory in the toolbar, which is 
great! However, when I use the "file explorer" tab to navigate the file 
structure in the computer, even though I can see the directory changing in 
the toolbar as I navigate, the actual IPython console working directory 
does not change (which can be checked using "%pwd"). I assume both of them 
were meant to change the working directory as you browse the file 
structure, so perhaps there's another missing connection there?

One more thing: I've also noted that any working directory changes made in 
the console using "cd" are not automatically reflected neither in the file 
explorer nor in the toolbar. I'm not complaining about it, it's just that 
I'm not sure if this is meant to work as it is and I thought I'd mention it 
in any case :P

As usual, many thanks for your great work! :)


Cheers,
Fabio

 Hi all,

 I'm not sure if this is an issue with Spyder or with Anaconda, but here 
 it goes; I raised this same question on Stack Overflow 
  a few days ago, so I'm 
 just gonna copy the same text here.

 I've been using Spyder 2 as my default Python IDE for a couple of years 
 already, and while preparing a class on Signal Processing I've stumbled 
 upon the new Spyder 3 on Anaconda and decided to see what it looks like.

 First, I've updated the Anaconda distribution on my Ubuntu 16.04 office 
 computer to the newest version (i.e. I had a previous version already 
 installed), and then got quite surprised when the button for "Set Console 
 Working Directory" on the File Explorer (top right, between the "folder" 
 icon and the "up arrow" icon) was missing. I can still change the working 
 directory manually on the IPython console,

Hi Carlos,

No worries about it :) Considering the amazing job you guys do with Spyder, 
this is a very, very minor problem. Looking forward to the next update!

Many thanks,

Hi Fabio,

I can confirm this is a bug, and I'm very sorry for it!

As part of a big refactoring we did to improve how Spyder is connected 
to our IPython consoles, I forgot to reconnect the Working Directory 
toolbar to them. I opened an issue about it


https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder/issues/3561

which I plan to fix this weekend and release it in 3.0.2 next week.


Cheers,
Carlos

clarify things, and the new behaviour does makes sense - except that

I've just tried changing the directory on my office machine (Ubuntu 
16.04) and on my personal laptop (Win 8), both running Spyder from a 
reasonably recent Anaconda install; on both systems I tried changing 
the working directory through the file explorer inside Spyder and 
checking for corresponding changes on the console using "%pwd", but on 
neither system the output of "%pwd" changed from the starting folder 
to the folder set through the file explorer. I should also mention 
that the output of "%pwd" seems to be the correct one; I told Python 
to create a simple figure and save it, and the figure was saved in 
that directory (and not the one shown in the file explorer). Strangely 
enough, however, I can successfully change the working folder through 
the console using "cd" on both systems; not ideal for teaching, but at 
least it still works!


I'd be grateful if other people could confirm if this affects them as 
well; in any case, we have another class on Friday and I can also test 
the University computers to see if this bug affects them too. Please 
let me know if there are any other tests you'd like me to do!


Many thanks :)

Does that make sense to you? It's important to me that Spyder is
reasonably intuitive especially for beginners.

There is some discussion at
https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder/issues/2910
 .

The screenshot on the Spyder GitHub page does not show Spyder 3. I
guess we should update it.

Hope this helps,

EDIT: here 's a screenshot
of how my Spyder looks like in Windows (the big red arrow is
pointing towards where the icon should be).

Does anyone knows if there is a setting option that hides the
"Set console working directory" button, or if this is a bug in
the more recent Anaconda version that doesn't show it?

Many thanks!
