cache directory should go with the media

seriously guys the cache directory needs to go with the media NOT ON MY STARTUP DISK. thank you very much or at least have a folder setting for it in preferences..

Maybe next time actualy rtfm before harshly complaining about basic features such as this.
In you project settings dialog there is a sectoin where you can both set the cache location and cache format which is just as important. Has been these since the stone ages.

Initially I used a TB2 HDD RAID for everything - but have found using my System SSD to stored ProResLT Cache clips to be gives a noticeably higher frame rate.

Compressing the Cache Clips gives a good balance (for my system) between performance and the rate the Sys SSD fills up.

Thoughts
+) Perhaps BM could introduce a 'Maximum % utilisation' of Disc that Cache is allowed to consume (Defaulting to 95%).
+) I'd quite like a PURGE ALL cache & Optimised media in DB option as well - and some sort of indication on how much (eg GB) that is each project is using (If this feature is in the Manual that I have not read yet - apologies!)
