(Feature request) Configurable cache folder #34

Closed llorephie closed 3 years ago

llorephie commented 3 years ago

Cache (download) folder by default hosts on %LOCALAPPDATA% (Windows) or $XDG_CONFIG_HOME (Linux), which is in most cases located on system drive, which can be small-sized in some cases :)

Can you add command-line/config switch for cache folder?

Btw, usage $XDG_CONFIG_HOME for download cache on linux is in some way incorrect, according to XDG specs: https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html , more suitable are $XDG_CACHE_HOME or $XDG_DATA_HOME

Are cached files being written to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME for you? If so, that's a bug as cache files are supposed to be written to $XDG_CACHE_HOME and fallback to ~/.cache if $XDG_CACHE_HOME isn't specified.

Re-checked - you are right here, on linux it goes where it should via envinroment, seems like that machine was affected by 386ds overrides (roaming profile), thanks :)
