XnViewe db and ini file

[will67]

Hello,

Perhaps someone knows the answer.

Question: How to change the folder "C:\Users\xxx\Anwendungsdaten\XnView\XnView.db" for all users to "c: \temp\xnview"

Reason: Userprofil is too big

Thanks

Olli

Option>System integration

Hi,

Yes all other files will be moved, but the xnview.db is still in user profile and it grows up by working.


I found in Options Systemintegration only the option for the .ini file and other files. The .db is still in the user profile. Ohter file will be set to c:\temp\xnview with category.bak and category.db file.

Idea ??

You have 2 settings, one for .db and one for .ini

Yes I have 2 settings, one for .db and one for .ini
the first one is for .ini and the secound for .db but only the category.db will be moved to the folder c:\temp\xnview

If you rename the xnview.db, and start XnView?

Good Morning,

Sorry, No. A new XnView.db wil be create in the user profile.

sorry my fault, yes there is no way to set path for XnView.db.
And if you change XnView program location, and use 'XnView'?

Hi,

Sorry, No. same problem.

[xnview]

do you have tried a hard link "C:\Users\xxx\Anwendungsdaten\XnView" to "c: \temp\xnview"

If you use a hard link, what's happened?

IMO you should disable caching. It's not necessary. I have folders with thousands of images and it doesn't take that long to generate thumbnails.
I'm not sure about xnview but in the past I've had cached thumbnails for files conflict with other images because it cached the previous files thumbnail and did not detect a change.
Also the less you cache the more secure your personal data is.

Browser>thumbnail>Cache uncheck enable caching
