RE: How to change the Repository directory (location)?

A while ago I auto updated to 2.0.0. Prior to that, I was able to change the repository location. The instructions were nicely noted here:

 

https://community.st.com/t5/stm32cubeide-mcus/how-to-change-the-repository-directory-location/m-p/114938

 

Now with 2.0.0, the Firmware Updater option is missing from from Windows -> Preferences:

I don't see anything listed in the release notes document found here:

 

https://www.st.com/resource/en/release_note/rn0114-stm32cubeide-release-v200-stmicroelectronics.pdf

 

Has this functionality been completely removed and we're now forced to have our repository in our User account folder on Windows?

 

FWIW, I also don't see a way of changing it in CubeMX.

 

Thanks,

STM32CubeIDE doesn't include STM32CubeMX anymore so the option will not be in there.

The option within STM32CubeMX is located here, under Help -> Connections & Updates:

(It is editable when a project is not open.)

I'll stand corrected in that there is a way of changing it via MX. Thank you for correcting me. But can ST PLEASE update documentation for things like this? I realize that the Release Notes document says that MX was detached from the IDE integration, however it does not say anything about removing the Firmware Updater option from Preferences.

 

Thanks,
