So, I've decided to go all-in and learn to use Aptana instead of making my judgement based on trying to use it without actually knowing anything about it. :)

However, following the tutorials on the aptana wiki, I went to create a new rails project, and it makes me choose my location. If I use the default location, then it appends my project name to it, but, if I choose my own, I have to duplicate the project name in both spots. UGH! And, I can't seem to figure out how to change the default location from the place in My Documents and put it to c:\ruby\rails_apps. I think this should be somewhere in the preferences for RadRails, but I don't see it. This should be obvious, I would think!

Well, I did a quick search in the configuration directory, and I find the following line in both the config.ini and config_vista.ini:

osgi.instance.area.default=@user.home/My Documents/Aptana Studio

So, it appears that I can change it in one of those spots.

I tried in config_vista.ini, and it didn't do it. Let's try config.ini.

Doesn't seem to have worked there, either.

Not only can't I figure out how to set the default location, but the new rails project doesn't seem to want to build a skeleton. I had hoped that, if I checked the option to create the rails skeleton, it would create the rails skeleton. It didn't. I'm going to try it also with setting the path to rails, even though it said I shouldn't have to.

Nope, that didn't help.
