我試圖理解這個問題，但我的經驗與 anon848905 的描述略有不同。我最近在 Win10 虛擬機器中安裝了 Paratext 9.2，並成功透過「舊」說明將其指向我的 Linux Paratext8Projects 目錄：重新命名或刪除預設的 My Paratext 9 Projects 資料夾，然後以管理員使用者身份啟動 PT9，並瀏覽到我想使用的資料夾（該資料夾已永久掛載在虛擬機器的共用資料夾中）。
為了保險起見，我檢查了（Windows）登錄，以確保我的自訂專案資料夾位置已記錄在案，依據是《安裝後如何變更 PT8 資料儲存位置》。確實，PT9.2 自動正確更新了登錄項目（HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Paratext\8\Settings_Directory）。
但每次我對 PT 9.2 套用更新補丁時，登錄項目都會恢復為 C:\My Paratext Projects。我對 anon291708 和 anon848905 的評論的理解是，如果我編輯登錄以設定自訂路徑，它就會保持不變，但這與我所見的情況不符。
anon291708 提到指向自訂位置的技巧已被移除，但我在使用 PT 9.2.20 補丁時仍然看到它。也許它已在 PT 9.3 中被移除（據我了解，PT 9.3 不會在 1 月之前自動發送給「所有使用者」）。
到那時，對登錄的調整會保持永久嗎，還是自訂的 Paratext 專案資料夾路徑仍會自動恢復？我認為期望人們編輯登錄來定位第二個磁碟上的專案資料夾並不是個好主意。但許多使用者有充分的理由這樣做。
相關問題：在安裝新電腦上的 Paratext 時，是否有辦法指定 Paratext 專案資料夾的自訂位置……而且它會保持不變嗎？
I’m trying to understand this issue, but my experience is a bit different than anon848905’s description. I recently installed Paratext 9.2 in a Win10 VM and successfully pointed it to my Linux Paratext8Projects directory via the “old” instructions: Rename or delete the default My Paratext 9 Projects folder, and then start PT9 as Admin user, and browse to the folder I wanted to use, permanently mounted in a VM shared folder.
To cover all bases I then checked the (Windows) registry to be sure my custom Projects folder location was recorded there, per How to change PT8 data storage location AFTER installing. Indeed, PT9.2 did automatically update the registry entry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Paratext\8\Settings_Directory) correctly.
But each time I apply an update patch to PT 9.2 the registry entry reverts to C:\My Paratext Projects. My reading of anon291708’s and anon848905’s comments sounds like if I edit the registry to set the custom path it will stick, but this is not what I’m seeing.
anon291708 mentioned that the point-to-custom-location trick has been removed, but I’m still seeing it with the PT 9.2.20 patch. Perhaps it has been removed in PT 9.3 (which won’t be sent automatically to “all users” until January, as I understand).
At that point will tweaks to the registry remain permanent, or will a custom Paratext Projects folder path still revert automatically? I don’t think it’s a good idea to expect people to edit the registry if they need to locate their Projects folder on a second drive. But many users have good reasons for doing this.
Related question: Is there a way to specify a custom location for the Paratext Projects folder on first install of Paratext on a new computer… and would it stick?
