How to change Cache Files Location?

PostMon Jan 04, 2021 4:05 pm

Hi,

I want to change the Cache Files Location from drive C to another drive. But I only find the option to do that in the respective project settings. So I would have to adjust this for every project. How can I instruct DR to generally save the Cache Files to a different drive?

Thanks in advance.

That location is project specific, so yes, you'll have to change it for every existing project.

Make sure to add that location first on the list under Preferences>System>Media Storage and it'll be the default location for new projects.
