When I open an Jupyter Qt Console ("C:\WinPython3\IPython Qt Console.exe"), work directory defaults to C:\WinPython3\settings.
How can I change this so to another location(e.g "C:\Projects\Py3")?

in recent winpython, you can do this:

  • go to C:\WinPython3\scripts\
  • modify qtconsole.bat as follow:
@echo off
call "%~dp0env_for_icons.bat"
rem before: cd/D "%WINPYWORKDIR%"
rem after:
cd/D C:\Projects\Py3
"%WINPYDIR%\scripts\jupyter-qtconsole.exe" %*

or directly change the variable WINPYWORKDIR in C:\WinPython3\scripts\settings\winpython.ini:

[debug]
state = disabled
[environment]
#HOME = %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%\Documents\WinPython%WINPYVER%
#JUPYTER_DATA_DIR = %HOME%
#WINPYWORKDIR = %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%\Documents\WinPython%WINPYVER%\Notebooks
WINPYWORKDIR = C:\Projects\Py3

I try the two methods, but nothing changed. I use WinPython3.5.4 64bits, in Windows10.

Jupyter QtConsole 4.3.0
Python 3.5.4 (v3.5.4:3f56838, Aug 8 2017, 02:17:05) [MSC v.1900 64 bit (AMD64)]
Type 'copyright', 'credits' or 'license' for more information
IPython 6.1.0 -- An enhanced Interactive Python. Type '?' for help.

In [1]: cd
C:\WinPython364\settings

if you do "!dir" instead of cd, it works. there is something special in the meaning of "cd" in QtConsole?

"cd ." behaves normally, "cd" doesn't.

"cd ." work fine. thanks again.
but how can I do when I run Jupyter QtConsole, type "cd", and get "C:\Projects\Py3".

well, it's ipython "magic" translation that is operating there:

I suppose somewhere in there, "cd" is transformed into "!cd %home%"

Thanks a lot for the detailed explanation.
