Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] IDFEditor Linux

[Jason Glazer <jglazer@xxxxxxxx>]

Miroslav,

The IDF Editor looks in the directory where the IDF file is 
located for the .rdd and .mdd files.  It does not have any 
setting to change this. Sorry, I never thought about that 
being an option.

I am very curious about your use of IDF Editor with WINE on 
Linux. Is it fully functional other than the .rdd file 
issue? Did it require any special configuration of WINE? 
Other people have asked about being able to use IDF Editor 
on Linux, can you share any other details that would allow 
others to use it on Linux?

Thanks

Jason
