[APBeta] AP V2 in a Dual Boot Environment

[Gary A. Ferguson]

The plan files can obviously be wherever you want. Look under Preferences,
other, observation preferences to change where the obs db goes. Preferences,
other, catalog preferences for where the catalogs are kept. There's no way
to control where images are kept, you have to copy or import. Preferences
and resources, same thing.

I obviously need to describe what I would like to do a little better.  I
have two Windows 7 partitions (dual boot) on the same hard drive.  One is a
32-bit and the other a 64-bit.  For various reasons I would like to make the
64-bit partition my primary partition.  The only real use for the 32-bit
partition will be for imaging since one of my astro cameras (Meade DSI) does
not have a 64-bit driver written for it.  I would like to install AP on both
partitions and be able to share the common data files (catalogs, image,
planning data, observation, etc) between the two installs.  Using AP's
"Help>Where Are My Files option you can display where each is installed.  I
was hoping there was a technique where these locations could be "user
defined".
