Where is 2.0 supposed to be storing sketches?
Topic moved
IDE 2.0 stores its sketches in the sketchbook folder, usually this is a folder named Arduino in your Documents folder on Windows (not sure about IOS and Linux)
If you look in Preferences you can see (and change) the location
Do you have a problem that you are trying to solve ?
Where it wants to put a sketch is;
C;\program files\Arduino IDE\mySketch
Can't believe that's right.
Uninstall and try another download?
What does Preferences say the sketchbook path is ?
preferences = d:\Arduino_2.0\Sketchbook
I had a beta version of 2.0 installed on the D drive and 1.8 on my C drive. I uninstalled all versions of the IDE before installing the 2.0 stable release with the default ( C drive ) path.
Hi @jlbrown
Please provide a detailed description of what you mean by "wants to".
Does that folder exist on your computer?
If you have the original Arduino IDE installed then what is its sketchbook folder ?
A post was split to a new topic: How to turn off line numbers?
OK, I think I understand what happened.
But h ere is another question; is this a path that was created during the install of 2.0? C:\USERS\brown\Arduino 2.0
The Arduino 2.0 folder is empty right now. Is this the default Sketchbook folder? ( Windows 10 )
OH, by the way; thanks guys.
i cant understand how people uses new ide, i still use 1.8
Ha, you got me laughing gaouser. It's really pretty nice once you get used to it.
With my install of 2.0, the Application file for the IDE is at
C:\Users\myName\AppData\Local\Programs\Arduino IDE
I am not aware of anything that would create a folder of this name.
No. The default sketchbook folder location is the same as in Arduino IDE 1.x:
C:\Users\brown\Documents\Arduino
Interesting. After \ Local my install goes off on a Arduino15 branch. But everything seems to be working. I wonder if any of this is documented somewhere but I doubt it. Thanks for your reply.
OK thanks ptillisch. Everything I've tested works so I'm just going to delete the mystery folder and carry on. Cheers.
Your Arduino IDE installation? This is the location where the Boards Manager installations are stored as well as the "built-in" libraries, but it is not expected that the IDE would be installed there. Of course you can install the IDE anywhere you like, but the default installation location is not there.
It is documented to some extent here:
I'm glad it is working. Please let us know if you have any other questions or problems.
