The Customization Directory

Epsilon searches for some files in a user-specific customization directory. It also creates files like its initialization file einit.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

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.
