XnViewMP on SSD

Post by deffkryz »

Hello there. I'm currently using XnViewMP 0.39 x64 with German translations on Windows 7. I've been looking into the roaming profile and seen that each time that MP does some thumbnail operations - whether it's scanning new images or deleting thumbnails in the program's options, XnView MP creates and deletes the "XnView.db-journal" file. Is there a way to stop it doing this? (I want to save up write cycles of the SSD as much as possible.)

The only way I've seen so far is redirecting the folder path with an ntfs hardlink onto a folder on a hdd. But it would be nice if there was an option to either create the file in a different folder or make MP stop at all (at taking more RAM?).

Or is there already a way that I don't see?

Not possible, it's the update of database

You can change the folder in option/Integration
