I was curious to know if there is a way for me to move the directory Photodirector uses for its cache file? I have a couple of SSDs, and I would rather have Photodirector, along with a couple other Cyberlink products, to utilize my SSD for generating cache files and storing higher quality thumbnails. Is there a way this can be done? I've looked everywhere and can't seem to find a way to change it. Thanks!

Hello rolldog,

Welcome to the PhotoDirector forum laughing

The cache files for any project are stored in a sub-folder of the project folder. When you select "New Project", you can choose where the project folder is filed. That determines file location for your cache files.

As well as that, of course, you can manually relocate any or all of your project folders to a drive of your choice.

As far as I can determine, there is no way to reset the quality of thumbnails.

I haven't been using Photodirector and all the other Cyberlink applications for very long, I was using Adobe previously. I guess I'm asking if one of the features of Adobe is available for your software as well, and that's setting where the cache files will be stored. If I have 20,000 photographs on one of my data drives, Photodirector doesn't have the option to store the cache files for all the photographs in a different location than where the photographs are located or where Photodirector is installed?

And one more question. When using the browser to view all the thumbnails of my media, is there a way for Photodirector to automatically use a thumbnail for the video files so I can tell which videos they are without having to open them up and watch them?
