Moving MetadataCache

Post by inemetz »

Is there a way to move the MetadataCache directory to somewhere else ? My system drive doesn't have room for 30,000 thumbnails.

Also, are the entries in mediamonkey.ini documented somewhere ? I like to tinker :)

Thanks,

Irwin

MetadataCache: you can just periodically delete it (even the whole folder, as MM will just regenerate a fresh one when it needs it for MM process).
Those images are very small. Even at mass doses, they shouldn't take up much space. You must be having some "serious" storage issues.

on .ini, there isn't a manual or document that details what they are and how to modify. But there are people here that will help/answer questions if you want to change,
set or clear something.

The MetaDataCache folder isn't stored in the MediaMonkey Temp folder so it seems it can't be moved by the user. I'm not sure what it is used for as mine is empty.
