Is it possible to change the cache location?
At least at the options there is no way to do that, but is there another way to change that?
I think it would be great to add an option to set the folder (and drive) where the cache will be stored.
Thanks

Use portable mode, just add "/portable" command argument. After this Similarity stores all caches and configuration in same folder with exe module.

Hi.
Wouldn't it be better to add an option, so you can change the location?
In my case I have a 750 GB drive with two partition (C and D) C drive is 25 GB and due to the huge mp3 collection I have, the cache is 1 GB, and I would like to store it in my D drive.
The portable mode is not an option for me, since the cache will also be stored on the C drive.
I hope that future versions allow you to choose the cache location and also to move cache to other locations.

Hi.
Please implement this feature :'(
I guess this is simple to do.
Thanks
-
We add such setting into config file (ini) in next version
-
Hi.
The new version came out, and this key feature is missing :(
Please implement this.
Thanks
-
New version has this feature, you need to edit ini file with configuration add text line:
CachePath="d:\\"
Just be sure you using build 1941, previous 1940 had some issues.
-
Hi.
The ini file to add the cache path is:
C:\Users\<currentUser>\AppData\Roaming\Similarity\config.ini ?
Is there a way to make that config.ini file to reside on the installation path? instead of the user path?
Thanks
-
Yes in normal installation config.ini located in "C:\Users\<currentUser>\AppData\Roaming\Similarity\config.ini" (shorty "%appdata%\Similarity\config.ini"), you can launch Similarity with portable mode switch (/portable) to store every file in same folder with main exe module.
Windows UAC protection forbids writting into "Program Files" directory for any program without Admin permissions.

Thanks
Are there plans to put this cache option right inside the program options? Instead of having to manually change it at the ini file?
-
Hi.
Just to follow up this.
Any plan to implement a direct configuration option to change the cache location? instead of having to edit the config.ini?
Thanks
-
Sorry for the delay, we add such setting in next version.
-
Thanks!
Much appreciated

Hi. Version 2.1.0 build 2100 is out, but this option is missing :(
-
Hi,
version 2.2.0 b2204 is out and still no easy way to setup the cache, would be great to have it implemented
Regards
-
Can you just move Similarity to cache folder and launch in portable mode "-portable"?
-
Hi,
please implement this cache changing location at the program standard setup, would be easier that having to do all those manual steps
Thanks
-
Hi,
OK the cache location may be changed now, but the usecase to do so was not mentioned.
Anyway, as written in another thread I am wondering if an option to switch it off would improve performance on >100000 collections.
Best,
Fred

Please, implement an easier way to define the cache path, should be placed at
Options > General > Caches
Thanks

It added in beta version (http://www.music-similarity.com/downloads/similarity.beta.zip (http://www.music-similarity.com/downloads/similarity.beta.zip)), but you need to restart Similarity after cache folder change yet.
