Setting to change location of Spool_V6 folder

Postby Moondawgie » Sun Jun 14, 2020 8:59 pm

Is there by any chance a hidden/secret setting in Newsbin Pro Versino 6.82 which allow the use of the Spool_vg folder on a different drive separate from the other folders in the Newsbin Data folder?

I'm wondering if using different drives, or better yet different drives with different controllers, might serve to speed up the process of downloading new header information and then adding that information into the Newsbin Pro database.

You can move the whole data folder to a different drive and/or you could move just spool_v6 then create a symbolic link in the data folder that points to this spool_v6 on a different drive.
