While Anytxt doesn’t currently have a built-in setting to directly change the temp file directory, here are a couple of workarounds you can explore:
1. Modifying the TEMP Environment Variable:
Windows:
- Right-click on “This PC” or “My Computer” and select “Properties.”
Click on “Advanced system settings.”
Under the “Advanced” tab, click on “Environment Variables.”
Under “System variables,” find the “TEMP” variable and click “Edit.”
Enter the desired path for temporary files (e.g., E:\Temp).
Click “OK” on all open windows.
macOS:
Open the Terminal app.
Type export TMPDIR=/path/to/new/temp/directory (replace with your desired path).
Press Enter.
2. Symbolic Links (Windows):
Close Anytxt.
Move the existing TEMP folder to your desired location.
Open an elevated Command Prompt (Run as Administrator).
Type mklink /D C:\Windows\TEMP E:\Temp (replace paths as needed).
Important Considerations:
Compatibility: These methods may not work with all versions of Anytxt. It’s essential to check for compatibility with your specific version.
Functionality: Modifying system variables or using symbolic links could potentially affect other programs that rely on the default temp directory. Use caution and test thoroughly.
Updates: After any Anytxt updates, recheck if these workarounds are still functioning as intended.
For the most accurate and up-to-date information, it’s always best to consult the Anytxt forums or reach out to their support team directly. They might have more specific guidance or potential solutions based on your version and operating system.
