Is the Projects directory configurable to a different location?
Is there a way to configure GC to use a different directory than Projects? I currently have all my dev projects sorted by language in the Projects directory and don't want to mess them up by trying out GC. So, is it safe to already have a Projects directory with stuff in it?

It's fine to have a Projects directory with none ground control stuff in them, I know I do.
I have the same thing as you, I actually have my ground control development directory in ~/Projects/
the idea is that it's compartmentalised so you can move the projects anywhere and they should still work.

Oh right, and you can reconfigure the projects dir too, if you want to.
See: ~/.config/

Oh, so there is a XDG_GROUNDCONTROL or XDG_GC variable? OK I will install the ppa and give it a try then, thanks.

Further to this, is it possible to have GroundControl work within sub-directories?
For example, if I create a test directory within "Projects", the GC bar doesn't show up.

Yes, in v1.5 you have to only make a new empty file called .groundcontrol in the directory

This works now great!
Maybe the configuration dialog could now have a option:
"enable groundcontrol directory" which will let you pick a directory where the .groundcontrol file wil be created.

Maybe a context menu item could be created for Nautilus and/or Dolphin (as I use both, for example), which will do the "enable GroundControl Directory" option. Or something like "GroundControl > include directory" and "GroundControl > Exclude directory", which will allow the user to enable or disable GroundControl on a directory and subdirectories.
You'd probably have to make something like this:
GroundControl >
Have a great day:)
