Hi all,

Is it possible to change the location of the MOI Ini file to a new location. Keeping up with scripts across my main working desktop and laptop I have setup MOI to work over Google Drive working well any scripts I add are added to both computers would be good if I could move the ini file there also so any shortcut keys can be updated also.

Hi Alex, when MoI starts it will look for moi.ini in either the same directory as moi.exe or in your user data folder (on Windows that's in %AppData%\Moi\moi.ini).

When it's initially created it puts it in the user data folder.

It's also possible to put it in any location of your choice if you tell MoI where it is by passing the moi.ini file name with full path as a command line parameter to MoI.exe, surround it with quotes " " if there are any spaces in the path.

Mine is at Users\****\AppData\Roaming\Moi

thanks for that I have moved the ini file into the Google Drive folder and now I have MOI synced across my 2 work computers doesnt get much better. Any scripts that I add along the way in one location gets updated in the other.

smooth sailing.

Hi AlexPolo.

Very interesting and smart idea... I never thought about it.

Thanks for sharing.

Very old thread but not sure about starting a new one on this same topic... I'm on a Mac and can't find my moi.ini file. I have custom shortcuts set up in MoI so I assume it must exist somewhere, but when I search for it I can't find it. Any suggestions? Is it *possible* for me to have deleted it accidentally at some point? (I have searched "moi.ini" on "this computer" and nothing comes up.)

Hi yophie, from inside MoI if you go to Options > General > "Edit .ini file" button, that will bring up a window that shows the path to the moi.ini file.

By default on Mac it is stored under ~/Library/Application Support/Moi/moi.ini

A couple of things to note, the ~ is short for your user folder, /Users/<your user name>/

By default the Library folder is hidden, you can go there in the Mac finder by going to the "Go" menu on the top menu bar and pick the "Go to folder" menu item then put in ~/Library/Application Support/Moi

Or also you can show it by pushing Shift+Cmd+.(period) , that will show hidden directories for the rest of that finder session.

Let me know if you still have any trouble locating it.
