A previous question, “Multiple directories and/or subdirectories in IPython Notebook session,” asked about directory traversal. The answer given was that the feature is coming. I have also seen a command line flag that starts the server in a specific directory. I can no longer find this post. The flag is not mentioned in the official documentation.
What is this command line flag to set the working directory?
When can we expect to see directory functionality in IPython Notebook?
Thank you.
I believe the flag you’re looking for is
--notebook-dir=/home/foo/wherever. I found this by runningipython notebook --help.Navigating directories while the server is running is still ‘coming’, unfortunately. It’s one of those things that will need to be done the right way, and the people who can do it (which doesn’t include me) are rather busy.
