The Customization Directory
Epsilon searches for some files in a user-specific customization directory. It also creates files like its initialization fileeinit.ecm there. (See Command Files, and the edit-customizations command.)
To locate your customization directory, switch to Epsilon's
#messages# buffer. Epsilon writes the name of its customization
directory to this buffer when it starts up. Or run the
edit-customizations command, which opens the einit.ecm
file located in this directory.
Under Linux, FreeBSD, and macOS, the customization directory is
~/.epsilon.
Under Windows, the customization directory is located in the
Lugaru\Epsilon subdirectory within the current user's
Application Data directory:
\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Lugaru\Epsilon
or
%APPDATA%\Lugaru\Epsilon
On all platforms, you can use the syntax %@ecustom% in Epsilon
to refer to the customization directory.
You can force Epsilon to use a different customization directory by defining a configuration variable named EPSCUSTDIR. See Configuration Variables for more on configuration variables.
