Default Workspace Location
When DS-5 is launched, you are prompted to choose a workspace, unless the Prompt for workspace on startup in the Preferences view was unticked. By contrast, Arm Development Studio opens without prompting you to provide the workspace location. It automatically opens the last used workspace. When Arm Development Studio is opened for the first time, it uses a default workspace in your home directory.
The default location is:
- Windows: <user directory>\Development Studio Workspace
- Linux: <home>/Development Studio Workspace
To change to a different workspace directory in Arm Development Studio, select File > Switch Workspace.
The previous DS-5 behaviour, where you can specify a workspace on startup, can be done in Arm Development Studio by ticking Prompt for workspace on startup in Window > Preferences > General > Startup and Shutdown > Workspaces.
