Amaya uses a number of default directories to store configuration information.
Amaya stores most of the default values and all of the dialog messages in
the config directory. This directory's parent is the one in which Amaya was
installed (the default is Amaya/config
on Unix; see the table
below for the location on Windows).
Amaya stores the user preferences and other user configuration files in a directory called AmayaHome. The following table shows where this directory is stored in different architectures:

This directory is preserved even when installing new versions of Amaya. It may contain the following files:
Note:
The amaya.keyboard
, amaya.kb
, and
amaya.css
files are loaded at launch time. If you change them,
you must quit and restart Amaya to take the changes into account.
Amaya stores all the temporary files it creates in a directory called the AmayaTemp directory. The following table shows where this directory is stored within different architectures:

Amaya creates files in this directory when browsing remote documents or printing a document. The cache is also stored in this directory. You can change the AmayaTemp and cache directories by using the General and Cache preferences (choose Preferences > General or Preferences > Cache from the Specialmenu).
Amaya always tries to delete the temporary files it creates. However, if Amaya crashes, the temporary files are not deleted. This will not impact subsequent executions of Amaya.
