TempAccount Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 (edited) How can I change the folder in which the palettes are stored ? Currently, it is in 'documents' and it is not convenient. Edited June 4, 2022 by TempAccount Grammar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewDavid Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Hi @TempAccount The quick answer is you can't. The proper location is C:\Users\Andrew\Documents\paint.net User Files\Palettes This is where Paint looks to load your palettes. It is hard coded and can not be adjusted. You could install the portable version that allows you to put the app and all its related folders anywhere you want. For example C:\Users\Andrew\Desktop\PaintNetPortable\UserFiles\Palettes Hope this helps 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution otuncelli Posted June 4, 2022 Solution Share Posted June 4, 2022 You can create symbolic/hard directory links from "Documents\paint.net User Files" or "Documents\paint.net App Files" to anywhere you want using mklink command. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/mklink.

ardneh Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 You could make a Desktop or taskbar shortcut to the Palette folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
