![]() ![]() If anyone knows how to do that, I would be very grateful for advice. However, I have been unable to persuade my XP and Windows 7 PCs to do the same trick the "index" symlink simply doesn't appear, despite dialogue boxes reporting that it has been successfully created. That worked: GD obediently created the index on the stick, and didn't clutter up the hard disk. I used Symlink Creator to create a symbolic folder link called "index" in that location, and refer to where I'd prefer to keep the index, which is on the same USB stick that contains GD's home folder and my dictionaries. In Windows Vista, GD usually creates its index in C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\GoldenDict. ![]() I have had *partial* success with persuading GD to create its index in a different location, but only partial. ![]() (Students, of course, do not have Administrator rights to our general-access computers, so cannot use GD at all, unless we install it separately on all 2000 machines, which isn't going to happen.) However, since that isn't available, I've been trying to persuade GD at least to make a single index on the stick, and not clutter up the various hard disks with multiple copies of the same information (over 200 MB - I use a lot of dictionaries), which need to be rescanned and updated every time I make a change, which is quite frequently. I would very much like a truly portable version of GD. It's just the nature of my work (and hobbies!) that I can't keep all the relevant files and programs in a single fixed location, so I work mainly from memory sticks. My colleagues and students have similar patterns of work. In a normal day's work, I use at least three PCs in different locations, and sometimes more. ![]()
