13:19:29 <m-relay> <f​iatdemise:matrix.org> In the GUI wallet, under Settings / Info, can we add Blockchain location?
13:34:08 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Its under settings -> node
13:35:34 <m-relay> <f​iatdemise:matrix.org> For me the field under Blockchain location just shows "default".
13:37:34 <selsta> you can select a location
13:39:37 <m-relay> <f​iatdemise:matrix.org> When I click the Change button it brings up the location of the GUI wallet. I want something that shows "/home/xxx/.bitmonero". I had to do a search to find out that the default blockchain location is in a hidden .bitmonero folder.
13:40:47 <selsta> default is the .bitmonero folder
13:41:12 <selsta> oh
13:41:21 <m-relay> <f​iatdemise:matrix.org> Right, but how is something that is running the GUI wallet for the first time supposed to know that?
13:41:26 <m-relay> <f​iatdemise:matrix.org> (someone)
13:41:43 <selsta> yea i misread what you wrote
13:41:47 <selsta> i thought you wanted to change it
13:42:34 <selsta> such a string could be added in theory but the issue is that the GUI does not know the location
14:15:45 <m-relay> <f​iatdemise:matrix.org> Does the daemon have a command that the GUI can run to retrieve the blockchain location?
14:15:46 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> gui just runs monerod. It doesnt pass a --data-dir flag to monerod unless you manually change it
14:15:56 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> ^
14:16:17 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> It just uses whatever monerod uses as its default
14:16:29 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Its in the startup log of monerod
14:16:36 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> "loading blockchain from ..."
14:17:16 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> But no, theres no monerod command to find out what its using as its data-dir
14:18:20 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> In theory, you could ugly hack it and jusy make gui _always_ pass a --data-dir flag and have gui set it to default values based on platform..
