Armory 0.9 for Windows stores blocks in C:/ even after changing settings

I changed the settings for storing database files from the default to another volume but it looks like Armory is still storing data in the default location in C:/Users.

We really need an option (in the settings GUI) to relocate the databases. A lot of people (especially those with SSDs) don't have 17 GB to spare on their main system drive.

--dbdir

Care to elaborate?

Use the --dbdir="mypath" command line argument to specify Armory's DB dir You can also use --datadir="mypath" to move the entire datadir (setting files, wallets and DB)

All armory command line arguments and their associated tooltips can be found at the top of armoryengine/ArmoryUtils.py

I imagine most users don't run Armory from the command line and won't know how to do so. For those users, if it can't be done in the GUI it might as well not exist.

Any progress for this on GUI?
