The work folder is a special folder on your computer. The Git Winch Client Application keeps a “watch” on this folder and the entire folder tree within this particular folder.
Click on the special “Work Folder” button at top, to take you directly to the work folder. Clicking with the right button on your mouse, will take you to the last folder you had visited, in sequential order.
How to set this Work Folder
This work folder is set inside the application's .ini file. Load that file in a text editor, and look for the line that looks like this:
WorkFolderRoot=E:\data\
Of course, the above is just an example. You may not have the folder “E:\data\” in your computer. You may have to then change that. Provide the name of a folder which is both readable and writable on your computer. If you are the owner and you zipped up the Git Winch application folder to distribute it to others in your office, make sure you tell them to configure this particular entry in the .ini file. If you want to be safe, you can configure this value to be a relative path to the application folder … and you can give the value as given below:
WorkFolderRoot=data
This means Git Winch expects the data folder to be a sub-folder named “data” within the application folder (i.e the folder where you installed Git Winch )
