Databases and software are usually stored in different folder in the filesystem for various reasons. The choice of path for db download should be up to user.

At the moment you can specify the path of the database with the oprion -db. I think that is what you are looking for?

No, I mean the ability to change the download location for the database in downloadDB.py.

We can add it as an advance option. But it might make it more complicated for non-advanced users.
Also, if you downoad in a different position, then you will need to specify -db when running motus.

I would like to plus 1 that feature request 😄
It would be super helpful if you could download the database to a specific folder (maybe somewhere else in the filesystem), and yes, you would have to specify then the path to the db anytime you run motus, but that should be fine

Noted. Will be added in mOTUsv4

  • If no destination path is set --> store at default location
  • If destination path is set --> store there, requires user to remember/set this path
