Need a way to modify cache location to D drive

[t michael church]

In this 2.2.1 windows version of JHelioviewer, the JPIP cache location is fixed on the C drive. It would be good practice to move the cache to the D drive, to reduce wear on the solid state drive.

That is to say, on my PC I would like to be able to edit the cache location.

Dear,

I think you can trick jhelioviewer to do so. (I haven't tested this)

Create a folder on your D drive.
Create a shortcut of the folder.
Copy the shortcut to c:/Users/foobar/JHelioviewer
Copy everything from c:/Users/foobar/Jhelioviewer/Cache into the shortcut
remove c:/Users/foobar/Jhelioviewer/Cache
rename your shortcut to Cache

I think this must work.

For windows xp c:/Users should be replaced with c/documents and settings/

This is a workaround for now.

I've put it in progress until a better solution is given (or update of the program)

Best regards,
