Moving DB Location

[W4NNG]

One of Anan impressive features is that it can be networked and accessed via different computers. To make this a smoother operation. one needs to cloud sync the Thetis DB (database)

C: Drive is a fast SSD so program installed there. D: Drive is my data drive - all files in it sync via OneDrive

To sync DB's, manually redirect (export) Thetis database to the D: drive. How do I make this the default DB location?

The "datapath" command line option may do what you want.

See this thread (equally applicable to Thetis):

As Scott said, the datapath command line works great for steering the startup command to different database.xml files or even completely different versions. I created a shortcut for Thetis version 2.6.6 so that I could run it with one click instead of Thetis version 2.7.0_a3 whenever I wanted to compare a few different behaviors between those versions. Very easy to do and it works perfectly. These are the lines used in the shortcut for the alternate version of Thetis I was playing with:

Target line: "C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenHPSDR\Thetis266\Thetis.exe" -datapath:"%appdata%\OpenHPSDR\Thetis266"

Start In line: "C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenHPSDR\Thetis266"

I'm pretty sure that Doug W5WC documented how to do this a few years back. At any rate, that's where I learned how to use this trick.

If you want to cloud sync your Thetis Database across multiple computers
Right Click Desktop Shortcut Icon and add DB redirect via OneDrive link

For example ,
"C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenHPSDR\Thetis\Thetis.exe" -datapath:"D:\OneDrive\HAM Radio\ANAN 7000DLE\THETISDB"
