+# Plan: Implement Custom Data Location Feature
+
+This document outlines the plan to implement the feature allowing users to specify a custom location for the PasteBar application's data.
+
+## 1. Goals
+
+*   Allow users to specify a custom parent directory for application data via the settings UI.
+*   The application will create and manage a `pastebar-data` subdirectory within the user-specified location.
+*   This `pastebar-data` directory will contain the database file (`pastebar-db.data`), the `clip-images` folder, and the `clipboard-images` folder.
+*   Provide options to either **move** the existing data, **copy** it, or **use the new location without moving/copying**.
+*   Ensure the application uses the data from the new location after a restart.
+*   Handle potential errors gracefully and inform the user.
+*   Update the application state and backend configuration accordingly.
+
+## 2. Backend (Rust - `src-tauri`)
+
+### 2.1. Configuration (`user_settings_service.rs`)
+
+*   The `UserConfig` struct's `custom_db_path: Option<String>` will now be repurposed to store the path to the **user-selected parent directory**. The application logic will handle appending the `/pastebar-data/` segment. This requires no change to the struct itself, only to how the path is interpreted.
+
+### 2.2. Path Logic (`db.rs` and new helpers)
+
+*   We will introduce new helper functions to consistently resolve data paths, whether default or custom.
+    *   `get_data_dir() -> PathBuf`: This will be the core helper. It checks for a `custom_db_path` in the settings.
+        *   If present, it returns `PathBuf::from(custom_path)`.
+        *   If `None`, it returns the default application data directory.
+    *   `get_db_path()`: This function will be refactored to use `get_data_dir().join("pastebar-db.data")`.
+    *   `get_clip_images_dir()`: A new helper that returns `get_data_dir().join("clip-images")`.
+    *   `get_clipboard_images_dir()`: A new helper that returns `get_data_dir().join("clipboard-images")`.
+
+### 2.3. New & Updated Tauri Commands (`user_settings_command.rs`)
+
+*   **`cmd_validate_custom_db_path(path: String) -> Result<bool, String>`**
+    *   **No change in purpose.** This command will still check if the user-selected directory is valid and writable.
+*   **`cmd_check_custom_data_path(path: String) -> Result<PathStatus, String>`**
+    *   A new command to check the status of a selected directory. It returns one of the following statuses: `Empty`, `NotEmpty`, `IsPastebarDataAndNotEmpty`.
+*   **`cmd_set_and_relocate_data(new_parent_dir_path: String, operation: String) -> Result<String, String>`** (renamed from `set_and_relocate_db`)
+    *   `new_parent_dir_path`: The new directory path selected by the user.
+    *   `operation`: Either "move", "copy", or "none".
+    *   **Updated Steps:**
+        1.  Get the source paths:
+            *   Current DB file path.
+            *   Current `clip-images` directory path.
+            *   Current `clipboard-images` directory path.
+        2.  Define the new data directory: `let new_data_dir = Path::new(&new_parent_dir_path);`
+        3.  Create the new data directory: `fs::create_dir_all(&new_data_dir)`.
+        4.  Perform file/directory operations for each item (DB file, `clip-images` dir, `clipboard-images` dir):
+            *   If "move": `fs::rename(source, destination)`.
+            *   If "copy": `fs::copy` for the file, and a recursive copy function for the directories.
+            *   If "none", do nothing.
+            *   Handle cases where source items might not exist (e.g., `clip-images` folder hasn't been created yet) by skipping them gracefully.
+        5.  If successful, call `user_settings_service::set_custom_db_path(&new_parent_dir_path)`.
+        6.  Return a success or error message.
+
+*   **`cmd_revert_to_default_data_location() -> Result<String, String>`** (renamed and simplified)
+    *   **Updated Steps:**
+        1.  Call `user_settings_service::remove_custom_db_path()` to clear the custom data path setting.
+        2.  Return a success message indicating the setting has been removed.
+
+## 3. Frontend (React)
+
+*   The UI has been updated to refer to "Custom Application Data Location" instead of "Custom Database Location".
+*   A third radio button option, "Use new location", has been added.
+*   The `handleBrowse` function now calls the `cmd_check_custom_data_path` command to analyze the selected directory and prompts the user accordingly.
+*   The `settingsStore.ts` has been updated to support the "none" operation.
+
+## 4. User Interaction Flow (Mermaid Diagram)

+## 5. Implementation Summary
+
+The following changes have been implemented:
+
+*   **`packages/pastebar-app-ui/src/pages/settings/UserPreferences.tsx`**:
+    *   Renamed "Custom Database Location" to "Custom Application Data Location".
+    *   Added a third radio button for the "Use new location" option.
+    *   Updated the `handleBrowse` function to call the new `cmd_check_custom_data_path` command and handle the different path statuses with user prompts.
+*   **`packages/pastebar-app-ui/src/store/settingsStore.ts`**:
+    *   Updated the `applyCustomDbPath` function to accept the "none" operation.
+    *   Updated the `revertToDefaultDbPath` function to call the renamed backend command.
+*   **`src-tauri/src/commands/user_settings_command.rs`**:
+    *   Added the `cmd_check_custom_data_path` command.
+    *   Renamed `cmd_set_and_relocate_db` to `cmd_set_and_relocate_data` and updated its logic to handle the "none" operation and the new data directory structure.
+    *   Renamed `cmd_revert_to_default_db_location` to `cmd_revert_to_default_data_location` and updated its logic.
+*   **`src-tauri/src/db.rs`**:
+    *   Refactored the `get_data_dir` function to no longer automatically append `pastebar-data`.
+    *   Added `get_clip_images_dir` and `get_clipboard_images_dir` helper functions.
+*   **`src-tauri/src/main.rs`**:
+    *   Registered the new and renamed commands in the `invoke_handler`.
+*   **`src-tauri/Cargo.toml`**:
+    *   Added the `fs_extra` dependency for recursive directory copying.
+*   **`src-tauri/src/services/items_service.rs`** and **`src-tauri/src/services/history_service.rs`**:
+    *   Updated to use the new `get_clip_images_dir` and `get_clipboard_images_dir` helper functions.
