Description:
I wanted to add a path to innodb directories. when I pressed the option file in the administration tab I got the following message "Location of MySQL configuration file (ie: my.cnf not specified.

I went to C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.2 and the my.ini file was there. I opened the my.ini file in Notepad++ and added the path
innodb_directories = "F:\mysql_8_2_databases;H:\mysql_8_2_databases"; I saved the file and restarted the mysql 8.2 server.
 
I ran query SELECT @@datadir,@@innodb_data_home_dir,@@innodb_directories;

the result was '"F:\mysql_8_2_databases;H:\mysql_8_2_databases";'

So the server read the my.ini file on restart.

I went to the options menu option of the administrative tab and found the same message; file not found.

How to repeat:
Follow what I did in the description.

Suggested fix:
Unknown.

This issue applies to the legacy MySQL Workbench 8.x implementation that is no longer supported or maintained.
MySQL Workbench 26.7 is a complete rewrite using a new technology stack and does not use the affected legacy implementation.
Therefore, this issue is not applicable to the current MySQL Workbench product and as such is closed.
