Hi,

I am using multiple pipelines which are configured in conf/pipelines.yml.  
Is it possible to move that file to another location and read it from there?

Thanks, Andreas

pipelines.yml is always read from the path.settings folder.

ok, thanks. but then everything in conf folder / path.settings stays together. Then I may go for symlinking. Thanks, Andreas
