Molioo Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 I want to move my workspace from C:\ to G:\. From other post on that forum I found out that it's possible to move a workspace by using "cm cwk" command. I tried to do that and it returned an error saying Quote Error: Source and destination path must have identical roots. Move will not work across volume So is there any other way to move my workspace from C:\ to G:\ ? How can I achieve that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calbzam Posted September 20, 2018 Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 Hi, You can also manually edit the "C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\plastic4\plastic.workspaces" file to point the specific workspace to the new location and then move the workspace (including the ".plastic" folder) to the new location.

FG0710 Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 Hi. I tried this, too, but now I am getting the error "Workspace info cannot be null" when I open the workspace in plastic UI 7.0.16.2277 (Saxon). How can I solve this? Update: I just found another info in this forum which outlines just the opposite approach (don't move the .plastic folder) Which guideline is correct and failsafe? Regards Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calbzam Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 If not moving the ".plastic" folder, you are not actually moving the workspace but creating a new one on a different location. But as you are moving the workspace content, it won't need to be downloaded again (only the workspace metadata is recreated in the new path). The proper way to move a workspace is via command (not manually). cm cwk --help But the user reported a problem with this command so we were trying to find a workaround. Regards, Carlos.

FG0710 Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 Hi again. At least I found that it is a good idea to close all tabs in the plastic UI of the changed workspace or workspace to change, esp. the 'Pending Changes' prior or after the workspace movement. This will erase the "Workspace info cannot be null" issue. The approach gives also possibility to change workspace name by changing the name in [workspace].plastic/plastic.workspace and "C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\plastic4\plastic.workspaces" as well identically. @calbzam: Though a litte off-topic: Is there a way to increase the number of choosable workspaces in plastic ui from a fixed number of 7 without the notion to use "Open other workspace ..."? Thanks and regards Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calbzam Posted June 5, 2019 Report Share Posted June 5, 2019 HI. There is a parameter where you can configure it in the "C:\Users\carlos\AppData\Local\plastic4\guiclient.conf" fileeg: <RecentWorkspacesCount>10</RecentWorkspacesCount> Best regards,Carlos.

Hi, After an update to MacOS Catalina, all my workspaces have been moved by the Apple updater for "absurde" security reasons (root of MacHD is now Read-Only !). As I can't imagine today to check my workspaces 1 by 1, I'm just trying to tell plastic where to find his beloved workspaces. I juste when to do the same thing you adviced on Windows, but I don't find the plastic.workspaces file on a Mac. Can you tell me where this file is stored on a Mac ? Thanks a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calbzam Posted March 9, 2020 Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 Hi, In macOS, the user local configuration folder is stored at: /Users/xxx/.plastic4/plastic.workspaces Regards, Carlos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
