Is it possible to change what folder the rendered files saved in ?

Hi

 

Is it possible to change what folder the rendered files saved in ? Default is ..\Eagle Dynamics\DCS A-10C Beta\Movies but I have a second hd dedicated for media files. So can I somehow change this folder to for example d:\renders?

[sungsam]

Anyone’s help will be appreciated !

Maybe a folder shortcut works? Delete the 'Movies' folder a make a shortcut to D:\renders.

in W7 from Home you can use mount points.

Ok I found it, thanks for info.

 

In order to mount a folder to an other folder on deferent disks/volumes even over network, you can use Hardlinks , Junctions , and Windows7's Symbolic Links

so wait, using these mounting points what exactly do I need to do if I want these precompiled effects folder to be outside the Temp folder in DCS... I don't quite get the way how it's done and what it does... does this Junction Link Magic utility need to be run every time with Windows start?

Not quite. Only when you need to create a junction point. It's only a GUI for not using command line. All these futures exist in NTFS 5.0 microsoft filesystem but you use them by command line Ln.exe Fsutil.exe diskpart.exe etc

 

And yes you can move your precompiled folder to other disk and then create a junction point folder to the original path using same folder name/path. That way the system will belive that it reads/writes data on drive C:/...../precompiled folder, while actually will read/save them from/to d:/...../precompiled folder.

 

You can also use it when you don’t have enough space in your hard disk to move applications and data to other disks, and all programs will work fine.

 

Just expirament using test folders. A misconfiguration will lead to data loss !
