Data directory

Windows

Go to Start -> Run (or press WinKey+R) and run this:

%APPDATA%\Loonie

Loonie's data folder will open. For most users, this is the following locations:

C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserName\Application data\Loonie (XP)

C:\Users\YourUserName\Appdata\Roaming\Loonie (Vista and 7)

"AppData" and "Application data" are hidden by default.

You can also store Loonie data files in any other drive or folder.

If you have already downloaded the data then you will have to move the data to the new folder. If you want to store them in D:\LoonieData then click on "Properties" of a shortcut to Loonie-qt.exe and add -datadir=D:\LoonieData at the end as an example:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Loonie\Loonie-qt.exe" -datadir=d:\LoonieData

Start Loonie, now you will see all the files are created in the new data directory.

Linux

By default Loonie will put its data here:

~/.Loonie/

You need to do a "ls -a" to see directories that start with a dot.

If that's not it, you can do a search like this:

find / -name wallet.dat -print 2>/dev/null

Mac

By default Loonie will put its data here:

~/Library/Application Support/Loonie/
