Moving Brainstorm Database folder

Hi Sarah,

You can easily move the currently selected protocol by doing the following:

  • In Brainstorm: File > Delete protocol > Only detach from database (does not remove any files, just tells brainstorm not to manage this folder anymore)
  • With your terminal or file manager: Move the folder “brainstorm_db/protocol_name” somewhere else
  • In Brainstorm: File > Load protocol > Load from folder: and go select your “protocol_name” folder at its new location

Moving the entire database, is equivalent to moving each protocol individually. The faster way to do it is:

  • In Brainstorm: Do “Only detach from database” for each protocol in your database
  • When your protocol drop-down list is empty, move the entire folder “brainstorm_db” to a new location
  • In Brainstorm: File > Import database, and select your “brainstorm_db” folder at its new location

Cheers,
Francois
