Carlosan Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 mantis request open: http://3d-coat.com/mantis/view.php?id=1045 any +1 is welcome. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Add an option in preferences to select which path is wanted for: - 3DC cache files, or temp folder*. - Texture paths - Another folders that can have another path than 3DC default (like the folders inside /user/documents) *Cache/temp is a directory that 3DC uses to store temp project data files (like undo) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Most users work with some partitions or HDisks, one for software and a bigger one for projects. This option is useful to redirect software paths and control disk usage. ty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contributor ajz3d Posted March 17, 2013 Contributor Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Good idea. Right now I think 3D Coat stores cache and temporary files in the Users\UserName\My Documents\3D-CoatV4\cache and \Temp directories, so if you have an system SSD and forgot to edit the registry in order to move Users folder to a mechanical disk - this might be a potential problem.

Member rs3d Posted July 27, 2013 Member Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 Allowing to optimize the paths for SSD would be nice indeed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contributor BeatKitano Posted July 27, 2013 Contributor Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 I STRONGLY agree about the temp path, even zbrush allow it now(and their cache system is one of the most secret thing at pixologic ^^). With ssd use and massive storage it's a shame we can't put the temp files on a dedicated disk for reliability/speed purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member Vexod14 Posted January 23, 2019 Advanced Member Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 Is this feature still in dev @Carlosan ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted January 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 Yes, but there is a workaround. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member Dmitry Bedrik Posted January 25, 2019 Advanced Member Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 I do not know why, but my use of symbolic links led to such bugs, which even cannot dream in a terrible dream. Therefore, you have to spend the resource of my SSD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member Vexod14 Posted January 26, 2019 Advanced Member Report Share Posted January 26, 2019 The workaround unfortunately doesn't work due to rights restrictions I can't understand (My folders aren't inside a microsoft mysteriously protected folder but on an additional SSD and they keep staying read-only even if I allow every access and untick "read only" button...). But I guess it works with several users, thanks anyway, I'll wait for a hard coded function in an upcoming install of 3DCoat. Thanks for your time guys !

Carlosan Posted January 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2019 Try to run 3D-Coat as Administrator. 3DCoat folder should be in "documents", check if your 3D coat folder is in OneDrive folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member Vexod14 Posted January 26, 2019 Advanced Member Report Share Posted January 26, 2019 I tried as admin aswell of course (probably the first thing I always try). When you say that it should be in "my documents" folder, did you mean that wherever I put it its folder hierarchy should remain the same from "my documents" ? Seems strange if so, as we define a clear path in the .txt file. Again, it's on an additional SSD where one drive is not (by default it's located in the current User's folder) The issue remain with the "auto-read-only" ticking I think. That's why I said your solution should work for others, but unfortunately not for me =/ Nothing horrible don't worry, I still got other ways to free space on my SSD, and should ultimately consider to upgrade it to a larger one (256GB is not enough ^^) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted January 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2019 Should be in C:\Users\username\Documents\3D-CoatV48 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member Vexod14 Posted January 26, 2019 Advanced Member Report Share Posted January 26, 2019 I obviously know that as I use 3DCoat for years I'm used to manipulate stuff in this folder. I just want, as everyone here, to move this folder to another location, which is in my case my SSD, and my SSD doesn't want to apply an unticked "read-only" property on all my folders. What I was asking is : in the "coat_data_path.txt", do I need to refer a folder (which would be in another location, not the default one as I want to retarget it to another location) that has the exact same path starting from "Documents", like this : COAT_FILES_PATH exp: "G:\Documents\3DCoatV48\" ?

Advanced Member Vexod14 Posted January 26, 2019 Advanced Member Report Share Posted January 26, 2019 And I think the issue comes from my SSD, I'll try to fix this and if I find a fix I'll post this here, thanks for your time @Carlosan =) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
