Working directory

macOS

Under macOS the working directory of synapses is located in this directory:

~/Library/Application\ Support/Synapsen/

Where ~/ stands for the user-home directory, e.g. /Users/anton/, if your user is called “anton”. In this case you switch to the syndb folder via the terminal with

cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/Synapsen/
ls -la syndb
zip -r ./2018-12-31-backUp-Synapsen.zip syndb

to view the database and make a backup copy if necessary.

Windows und Linux

Under Windows and Linux, a separate folder called Synapses is created in the program directory (or where you specify it during installation). Here you will find the program files, but also the database with the literature data, in the subdirectory syndb.
