Degron Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Hello I don't know if this has already been noted or asked somewhere ... 🤔 I would like to be able to finally put the temporary work files on a hard drive of my choice for the entire Affinity Collection. So far, I didnt found this option in any of the updates under the settings. The current solution that the temp files run under c: (Windows) is unfortunately a very unfortunate choice, because the HDD fills up quickly by large documents. (especially with the publisher). Please do this and it will make the programs even better! 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 You can move the entire %AppData%\Affinity folder to another location using Junctions or symlinks in the file system, and that will include those temp files. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/hard-links-and-junctions Degron 1 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.3, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
