This should still be relevant: zadam/trilium#250

This is already possible by setting TRILIUM_DATA environment variable before launchng trilium.

Windows CMD prompt examples:

:: set and save var for all future launches
setx TRILIUM_DATA  d:\path\to\my-trilium-data

Launch-trilium-my-data.bat:

:: set for this current shell only
set TRILIUM_DATA=d:\path\to\my-trilium-data

:: launch trilium (adust path as needed)
%LOCALAPPDATA%\trilium\trilium.exe

Note the syntax difference: setx requires a space between var and value, while set requires = and no spaces.

Linux bash will be something like:

TRILIUM_DATA=~/path/to/my-trilium-data ; trilium

I assume this request might be about being able to change this in the Settings via UI?

Yes, sorry I should have specified via the UI.
