Changing directories in Spyder 3.5
I just updated my copy of Spyder on my Windows XP desktop to Spyder 3.5. How do I change directories so that the working directory is the one (in a subfolder in My documents)in which I have my Python Script and .txt data files (e.g. for running a regression)?

Did you trycd <path-to-your-dir>in the IPython console?

I had the same problem. I'm using the latest Spyder. I wanted my files to be in other than my home directory. I tried setting the current directory in Preferences. My files still wound up in my home directory. I tried the "cd" command. It said that the current directory was the one I wanted, but still the files were written to my home directory.
So I saved my script file in the directory I wanted. Now my files go where I would like.
