Location of KNIME Preferences

[ravikiran]

Hi Team,

Where do the KNIME Preferenes be saved in the disk? Say, if I am setting the “Yes, help improve KNIME” ON to send the anonymous usage data. Where will this setting be saved? In my workspace or somewhere else?

Thanks
Ravikiran

Hi there,

preferences are saved within .metadata folder which is located inside your workspace folder.

You can export preferences from KNIME (File --> Export Preferences) and then open it with Notepad++ or some other text editor to inspect it.

Are you interested in exact location of this setting in .metadata folder or this is enough?

Hi Ivan,

Thanks a lot for your response.

Yes, I am interested in knowing the exact location of this setting in .metadata. This would be really helpful to diagnose an issue from our end.

Thanks

your_workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings/org.knime.workbench.core.prefs contains:

knime.askedToSendStatistics=true
knime.sendAnonymousStatistics=true

Hi there,

when you export preferences and inspect it you will find part of “path” before it which can help you finding it in .metadata folder
