Rainlendar FAQ

By default the settings file (rainlendar2.ini) and the events/tasks (Default.ics) are stored in a folder called .rainlendar2 inside your home folder. The location depends on your operating system.


Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\[yourname]\.rainlendar2
Windows Vista: C:\Users\[yourname]\.rainlendar2\
Linux: ~/.rainlendar2 or ~/.config/.rainlendar2
Mac OS X: ~/.rainlendar2

The ~ means your home folder. Note that the .rainlendar folder on Mac and Linux is a hidden so you need to show the hidden files before you can browse into it (On Mac you can also enter path to the Go to folder dialog to open the folder.

If you are making manual changes (edit or delete it) to the rainlendar2.ini file make sure Rainlendar isn't running when you do that or your changes might get overwritten. If you are not able to quit Rainlendar normally for some reason you can use your operating system's task manager to kill the process.


You can change the location of the ics-file where the events and tasks are stored from Options->Calendars.

If you want to store the settings somewhere else you can start Rainlendar2 with -c [path] command line parameter (the [path] defines the path to the settings).

You can also move the rainlendar2.ini file to the same folder where the executable is located. This makes Rainlendar to use it's own folder to store all the settings which is useful e.g. if you have installed the application to a USB memory.
