Can I install Processing 4.4.4 on local drive?

@sterretje

@stefterv, this is not about the sketchbook but about the Processing application itself.

This is the default location for the Processing application (with MSI installer) and does not grow in size:

This is the default location for the sketchbook folder which contains the sketches, libraries, modes and does grow in size:

Where the Processing application and the sketchbook folder are stored can be a point of confusion for new users.
The preferences.txt is also in a different location.
I discuss this with new users that I work with.

@newuser

I previously installed Processing 4.4.4 “Typical” and it was installed on >> C:\Users\newuser\OneDrive\Documentsbut that causes problems with launching when my internet is not working, and also takes about 20% of my OneDrive space.

I would not expect that to be the default installation directory for the Processing application with the MSI installer.
It appears to be the location of the sketchbook folder.
I was not able to change the installation directly with the MSI installer.

@newuser

Yes, thank you. I moved my sketchbook, but then uninstalled Processing to install on a local drive (c:\Users\newuser\Documents)to keep it off my OneDrive (which Processing filled to 99%)

Moving the sketchbook folder appears to be the solution to this folder growing and filling the OneDrive.

@newuser can provide clarity on this after understanding where the different folders are located.

If the MSI installer did install the Processing application to the OneDrive folder with the Typical install this would need to be confirmed.
