Blender’s Directory Layout¶

This page documents the different directories used by Blender (which can be helpful for troubleshooting).

There are three different directories Blender may use, their exact locations are platform dependent.

LOKAL: Location of configuration and run-time data (for self-contained bundle).
BENUTZER: Location of configuration files (typically in the user’s home directory).
SYSTEM: Location of run-time data for system wide installation (may be read-only).

Für systemweite Installationen wird sowohl das SYSTEM als auch das BENUTZER Verzeichnis gebraucht.

For locally extracted Blender distributions, the user configuration and run-time data are kept in the same subdirectory, allowing multiple Blender versions to run without conflict, ignoring the USER and SYSTEM files. This requires you to create a folder named config in the LOCAL directory.

Platform Dependent Paths¶

Hier sind die Orte für jedes Betriebssystem:

Linux¶

LOKAL

./2.91/

BENUTZER

$HOME/.config/blender/2.91/

SYSTEM

/usr/share/blender/2.91/

Bemerkung

The path ./2.91/ is relative to the Blender executable and is used for self-contained bundles distributed by official blender.org builds.

Bemerkung

The USER path will use $XDG_CONFIG_HOME if it is set:

$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/blender/2.91/

macOS¶

LOKAL

./2.91/

BENUTZER

/Users/$USER/Library/Application Support/Blender/2.91/

SYSTEM

/Library/Application Support/Blender/2.91/

Bemerkung

macOS stores the Blender binary in ./Blender.app/Contents/MacOS/Blender. The local path to data and config is:

./Blender.app/Contents/Resources/2.91/

Windows¶

LOKAL

.\2.91\

BENUTZER

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.91\

SYSTEM

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.91\

Verzeichnisaufbau¶

Dieses ist die Anordnung der Verzeichnisse innerhalb der oben beschreibenen Ordner.

Where ./config/startup.blend could be ~/.blender/|BLENDER_VERSION|/config/startup.blend for example.

./autosave/ ...

Autosave blend-file location. (Windows only, temp directory used for other systems.)

Suchreihenfolge: LOKAL, SYSTEM

Temporary Directory¶

The temporary directory is used to store various files at run-time (including render layers, physics cache, copy-paste buffer and crash logs).

The temporary directory is selected based on the following priority:

User Preference (see File Paths).
Environment variables (TEMP on Windows, TMP & TMP_DIR on other platforms).
The /tmp/ directory.
