    I’ve taken on responsibility for a site running 1.6.7.  I’ve got to grips with most of how the site is structured but I’ve spent hours, HOURS, looking for the location whre a variable value is set. I have values like : https://ellislab.com/asset/images/team-photo/mypic.jpg and I can see on the site itself that filedir_1 is set to a particular path, but there is no clue as to where that value is set. I’ve even downloaded the whole site and he database and grep’d for the path, but there is no trace anywhere - how can that be?  Any suggestions would be greatfully received.

    filedir_1 should pull its root path variable from it’s preference panel which is located here:

    Thanks Jim, perfect. 😊 I’m stunned I didn’t find that when I was digging around before.
