== How can I change the location of my data directory? ==
Here are general instructions for changing the location of your data directory, including how to find your directory in the file browser if it is a hidden directory called ".zyzzyva". Since Zyzzyva 2.1.0, the default data directory has no longer been a hidden directory called ".zyzzyva", but instead a regular directory called "Zyzzyva". However, if you have used a previous version, your data directory may still be called ".zyzzyva". Below are instructions if you want to change it. Be sure to follow these directions closely, because manually manipulating the Zyzzyva data directory can be potentially dangerous to your data if you're not careful. You should probably read the full instructions before taking any action, so you're familiar with what steps are required.
# Open Zyzzyva and find out what your data directory is. It can be found by clicking the Preferences button (with a wrench and screwdriver), and looking at the Data Directory setting in the General section. Copy and paste or write down this location.
# Open Zyzzyva again. It will probably complain about missing databases, but tell it NO, do not create databases.
# Open the Preferences window again, and click the Browse button next to the Data Directory setting. Use the file browser to find the new location of your data directory.
# Restart Zyzzyva, just to be sure it is using the new data directory. If it doesn't complain about missing databases, everything should be okay. If it does complain about databases, retrace the above steps to figure out where you went wrong.
