PlatformIO makes folder into ~/Documents on Linux

#1

Hi all,

I have a small annoying problem. I’m using my own custom location for storing all code that I type. In PlatformIO > Settings > PlatformIO IDE > Core > Project Home I enter that location but upon every PlatformIO start it creates folder into ~/Documents. Why? How can I disable that?

Here is config.cson:

“":
core:
ignoredNames: [
".git"
".hg"
".svn"
".DS_Store"
"._”
“Thumbs.db”
“desktop.ini”
".pioenvs"
".piolibdeps"
".clang_complete"
".gcc-flags.json"
]
projectHome: “/home/stefaca/Work/PlatformIO/“
telemetryConsent: “no”
“exception-reporting”:
userId: “ID”
“file-icons”:
coloured: false
"linter-ui-default”:
useBusySignal: false
"platformio-ide-terminal”:
core:
autoRunCommand: “export PATH=~/.platformio/penv/bin:$PATH”
“tool-bar”:
position: “Left”
“tree-view”:
hideIgnoredNames: true
welcome:
showOnStartup: false

How do you do that? Where did you find this tip?

But biggest issue is that folder that PlatformIO creates on his own (~/Documents/PlatformIO/Projects/). That is not OK by me.

Any ideas how to stop this to happening?

Where does PlatformIO get this info from? https://imgur.com/a/ShFgU

It is fixed in development version and will be deployed soon. Thanks a lot for the report.
