    By default, Databases for Tap Forms are stored (deeply nested) in a folder in the user’s library folder. I prefer to store my databases on a separate volume / drive. I tried to put a symlink in the default sub-folder to point to my storage folder with the hope that I could see into the volume at the splash-screen dialog box. This did not work.

    I can see preferences to change the default locations for backups and scripts. But nothing can be done to set the default for databases, and the splash-screen does not allow easy access to a different location (outside the user’s library).

    I’d hope perhaps the limitations can be lifted for a future version.

    Yup. It’s in the works for a future version. Thanks.

    Thank you. I look forward to this change and the move of the fullscreen mode menu.
