Setting User and Project Directories
Historically, the Efinity software saved all files, including project
files, in the Efinity installation directory by default. Beginning with
the Efinity software v2025.1, the default location is in your user
directory:
- Linux—/home/<user name>/.efinity
- Windows—C:\Users\<user name>\.efinity
This change makes it easier to manage projects if you have multiple versions of Efinity software installed. The .efinity directory is your default project directory and also stores log files and .ini files for various tools (IP Manager, IP Packager, Interface Designer, Debugger, Programmer, etc.).
Note: To change the default location, choose . In the Preferences dialog box, change the
Top-level project path and User
directory fields for the new path. The Efinity software prompts you to restart the
software after you change the path(s).
