Studio File System Overview

The Verj.io Studio file system is divided into two distinct parts:

• Userdata: this file system includes all studio configurable files and runtime data like log files. The default location for studio userdata is <home directory>/Verjio/Studio.

The studio userdata location specified at installation time is saved in the parent directory of the installation in file xxx.studio.inst. For example, if the studio is installed to C:/Verjio/5_6_0/VerjioStudio, this file will be located at C:/Verjio/5_6_0/VerjioStudio.studio.inst. This file is used to locate the userdata location each time the studio is started.

• Installation: this file system includes all the distributed studio software: Verj.io Studio, Embedded Server, Java and Java FX. This file system will be replaced by a subsequent Verj.io upgrade so should be treated as read only. The location of the installation file system is specified at installation time. The default on Windows systems is C:/Program Files/Verjio/VerjioStudio.

The location of each part is specified at installation time.
