codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix Feature Request: [App] Make the "Chats" project directory configurable [2 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

Allow users to configure the chat directory in Codex App settings to avoid storing coding-related outputs in iCloud Drive.

Guidance

• Identify the current directory path (~/Documents/Codex) and consider the implications of iCloud Drive syncing on coding-related outputs.
• Research existing settings or configuration options in the Codex App to determine if there's a potential workaround for changing the chat directory.
• Consider the security and version control implications of storing git repositories in cloud-synced folders.
• Evaluate the feasibility of adding a user-configurable setting for the chat directory in the Codex App.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue focuses on configuration and settings rather than code implementation.

Notes

The solution may require changes to the Codex App's settings or configuration options, which could involve updates to the app's codebase or infrastructure.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by allowing users to configure their chat directory in Codex App settings, as this would address the issue of storing coding-related outputs in iCloud Drive and provide more control over data storage.
