How can I change the temp file location for NPrinting 17?

[brentdej]

The temp files created during the meta data reload for a connection are writing to a user folder under C:\Users\... How/where can I change this to write to a different drive (with more available space)?

Hello Brent,

Open the designer "File" tab and select "Options".  In the options menu go to the report settings and select a new temporary folder.  You can select the new folder by clicking in the ellipsis on the right of the screen - see attached.

Regards,

Carlos

Thanks for the reply, Carlos.  Under version 17, how do I get to this File menu from the Management Console? As I understand it, the Designer is no longer an app, per se.

Brent - that is correct, you cannot set this inside the designer client as you could in NPrinting 16.

I'm following up with our team to find out if/how you can change this setting. I'll have an answer at the end of the week.

Thank you, Stephen.
