Where is doc index stored on disk?

Where is the doc index stored on disk? Based on the code, it seems it should be in a folder called .paperqa, but I can't find that folder in my local file system.

[dosubot[bot]]

The document index in the paper-qa codebase is stored in a directory specified by the index_directory field in the IndexSettings class. By default, this is set to pqa_directory("indexes"), which places the indexes in the home directory under .paperqa unless otherwise specified by the PQA_HOME environment variable ^[1][2]. If you don't see the .paperqa directory, ensure that the application has been run and that there are no conditions preventing its creation.

Found it, but the directory is actually named .pqa.
