Move XnView.db to somewhere else?

Post by tropf »

Hello together,

I've noticed that in my roaming-directory (Win 10)
c:\Users\myuser\appdata\Roaming\XnView\
there is the xnview.db, which is about 16gb large.

Unfortunately, I am running out of space on my c; - device. Is there a chance to move this db to another place, e.g. d:abc\ ?
Perhaps an entry in the registry? Or another way? Most important is, to remove the xnview.db from c:

Thanks for possible answers

Well, I've found the solution:

Menu > Options > Browser > Thumbnails > Cache,
Use folder section: set custom + path for xnview.db

This is indeed worklng and solves my problem.
