Change Total Commander cache

[adisor13]

Hi,
I want to change the cache location for everything or every archive type, but can't find an option for that. Is there a line for the configuration file ?

Thanks.

Yes.

ps: a more detailed answer can be found in Tcs Helpfile!

I see a WipeDir=. I put this under the Configuration section in wincmd.ini but is not working. Temp files are still going to the userprofile.

AFAIK thumbnail cache only can be set to desire location (Configuration dialog> Thumbnail page)

WipeDir is used by the installer, more...

I want this more for archives. When I open a tar archive it copies the files to a temp dir in the local user profile.

Yu can start TC with a batch file that sets the location of the temporary directory for TC to your liking.

For example tc.bat containing:

Code: Select all

@echo off
set temp=c:\temp
start c:\totalcmd\totalcmd64.exe

You would have to make c:\temp yourself.

It is also possible to change envvars like TEMP using Autorun plugin. However this dir will be used as a default temporary dir for all programs started from TC.

Looks like there are other users that need the same thing as "ts4242" provided in the link.
Tried to use

@echo off
set temp=c:\temp
start c:\totalcmd\totalcmd64.exe

but is not working.

but is not working.

WHAT is not working?

Have you adjusted the path to point to your TC folder?

Sorry is working (the script from @petermad), it's just that I did not put a comma in the right place. I have some spaces in the path.

Thanks guys for the help, and I hope this option will be implemented in a future release of the software.
