I understand the reason for installing the Users folder but I wonder if it's possible to point the 'data' files to another drive? I just got a new laptop that has a huge second hard drive that I'd like to use for data and keep my C: drive 'uncluttered'. Is there a way to point the application to look and download elsewhere?
Ken:
To be honest, it doesn't make a lot of sense to only store the data there. The fetch speed will be affected if you have it all on your main drive or split it. I'd suggest you just install the whole program on the secondary drive. That would make things quite a bit easier. :)
I don't recall getting the option to specify where I wanted it installed. I'll uninstall and try again.
OK, reinstalled and did not get an option to say where I wanted it installed. I have set the location of 'My Documents' to my D: (Data) drive but it looks like the media and stuff are still getting put on C: Can you tell me how to specify to install it elsewhere?
Proclaim does not allow you to specify the data directory. You could use a symbolic link to point to your D: drive.
OK, I've not used symbolic links before; how exactly should this be done?
Make sure you don't have any unsynced changes, then rename the Proclaim directory located in %LOCALAPPDATA% to Proclaim.OLD.
md D:\Proclaim // this is where you data will be locatedcd %LOCALAPPDATA%mklink /J Proclaim D:\Proclaim
Once you have verified that everything is ok you can delete the Proclaim.OLD directory in %LOCALAPPDATA%
please implement installer options to install to a different drive than C. using symbolic links is busch league. thanks.
