New page

A fairly recent and handy addition to AmigaOS, paths to all the programs and applications you have ever ran are stored on your hard disk in a central location*.

This is useful if you move programs around and the path changes, or you rename a driver or drawer. For example if you have added [[Timberwolf]] to [[AmiDock]] you could set the path in [[AmiDock]] preferences purely as APPDIR:Timberwolf and it will still be found by [[AmiDock]] and ran.

Another use is in the configuration of [[DefIcons]] to ensure that [[Using_the_Workbench|Workbench]] can always find the desired viewer/player even if you have moved it to a different place.

* ''SYS:Prefs/Env-Archive/AppDir''
