Hi Carlos, Christian, there seems to be at least some need for multiple configurations. A simple way to realise this would be a command line switch like --configpath XXX where XXX is a path to the .spyder2 directory, or so. I don't know whether this captures all the use cases. For this year, we have found a solution by having a dedicated script that copies the right configuration file note the C: drive before we start Spyder, but in the long run it would be convenient to start spyder with "spyder --configpath h:\mydocuments" or so, and thus achieve persistent configuration between sessions in our environment. Thanks again for considering this request. Best wishes, Hans > Thanx a lot once more for this great software that I'm using nearly every day! > > Cheers, > > Christian > > Am Sonntag, 6.
