When I start Aptana Studio 3 in my Ubuntu 11.10, it automatically creates a folder named "Aptana Rubles" at ~/Documents. How to configure to remove it permanently? I tried to find an option in Preferences of Aptana but I don't see anything related. If I can't remove, how to move it to another place?

I tried this but it still create the "Aptana Rubles" at ~/Documents http://wiki.appcelerator.org/display/tis/Changing+the+User+Bundle+Directory

Edit: my AptanaStudio3.ini

--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256m
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
-vmargs
-Xms40m
-Xmx512m

-Dstudio.rubleUserLocation="/home/hieund/Programs/Aptana Studio 3/Aptana Rubles"
-Daptana.ruble.user.location="/home/hieund/Programs/Aptana Studio 3/Aptana Rubles"

-Declipse.p2.unsignedPolicy=allow
-Declipse.log.size.max=10000
-Declipse.log.backup.max=5
-Djava.awt.headless=true

I am writing this incase someone else has the same problem.

For Mac

  1. Go to the Applications folder
  2. Open the Aptana Studio folder
  3. Right-click on the AptanaStudio application icon
  4. Select Show Package Contents
  5. Open the Contents folder
  6. Open the MacOS folder
  7. Open the AptanaStudio3.ini file in your favorite text editor

And then add this line in the end

-Dstudio.rubleUserLocation=~/<SOME_LOCATION>/Aptana Rubles

Here is an example path

-Dstudio.rubleUserLocation=~/Documents/App Data/Aptana Rubles

Make sure

  1. The directory must exist
  2. The directory must be writable
  3. The directory must be readable

Similarly, on GNU/Linux:

In /usr/share/aptana/AptanaStudio3.ini, add the line "-Dstudio.rubleUserLocation=/home/[you]/[your_new_Rubles_directory]" (sans quotes) if it doesn't already exist.

It didn't expand "~" and instead created an empty directory in my home directory named "~" (nervously executing "rm -r \~" removed it, by the way), so I used the full path; not sure how it would respond to the location being wrapped in quotes or containing spaces, but I'd surmise it's probably fairly finicky. This is somewhat sickeningly dirty, however, as other users of the same machine can't read or write to that hard-coded directory.
