I recently bought a new computer with an SSD and am trying to keep everything but my OS on a secondary drive. I installed E-sword in the secondary but I cannot get it to access any topical files and some other files like Bibles, commentaries and dictionaries I had previously, while some work fine. Where do I need to put the topical files to access them? I have tried documents/esword in both primary and secondary disks. And why are some of the other files working and some not?

e-Sword installs on a Windows PC into two folders with a default drive setting of C: 

The folders are both labeled e-Sword with one being installed into your Program Files x86 folder with file path like this:

C:\Program Files (x86)\e-Sword

The other folder is installed into you documents folder with a file path like this:

C:\Users\username\Documents\e-Sword.

e-Sword has a default location setting for all resources modules of the following

C:\Program Files (x86)\e-Sword\

You can change this setting through in e-Sword by selecting Options from the menu across the top of e-Sword and then from the Options drop down menu and then from that menu select Resource. When you select Resource a small window will open that allows to select all of the options related to which resources e-Sword will display and where e-Sword can locate the files. You can select what ever folder on on the secondary drive you installed e-Sword on.

When running e-Sword, use the F1 function key to access the e-Sword User's Guide, which is provided when you download e-Sword direct from Rick Meyers, https://e-sword.net [off site]. Refer to page 1, 2, 20, 41, 42 to see where files are stored.

 

Rick Meyers answers the question: How can I move my e-Sword to a new computer, at Frequently Asked Questions, - refer to https://e-sword.net/faq.html [off site]

 

AUTHORIZATION TO DOWNLOAD FILES If files downloaded from https://e-sword.net do not have authorization to load into the C:\Program Files (x86)\e-Sword folder, then the downloaded file may occur in the following folder. C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\e-Sword folder.

To see an index of files in this folder with the internet browser, use the option "file:///C:/users/user/AppData/Local/VirtualStore/Program%20Files%20(x86)/e-Sword/" without the double quotes before and after the link. You can usually "copy" and "paste" these files to the required folder. Alternatively, use the e-Sword Module Installer, by clicking on each file, and checking that the e-Sword ModuleInstaller will copy them to the required directory-folder.

Hi Buddy,

So you installed e-Sword on your secondary drive, and I guess you want to have your files where your e-Sword is located or even in a particular folder which is not in the folder where e-Sword is located, or just one of your own choosing. This is not a complicated as one may think it is, and in fact its pretty much straight forward.

 

I'm pretty much like you in that all my e-Sword resource files are on a totally separate hardrive and e-Sword is installed on my C: thingy. Reason why I have it like that is because I can due to having 2x1TB Hard Drives - and that for me is heaps of space (although I might need to get a 5 plus TB HDD what with all the videos and etc).

 

So, below is a video which somewhat deals with location of resources and of how to change it, and when and where to put stuff when downloading. Trust you find them helpful.

 

Blessings, and a Happy New Year to you and your kin and etc.
