I am trying to relocate my VA data directory to a ram disk to speed up scanning and access. Setting UserDataDir in the registry to a folder in the ram disk works fine and after a reboot VA recreates the folder as expected. However this also seems to relocate the snippets folder and VA only copies a 'first install' version of the snippets to the ram disk and not my edited version.

How can I get VA to use my snippets but still move the VA data directory to a ram disk or is this even possible?

Thanks.

VA doesn't migrate data to the alternate data dir. If the alternate is empty, then VA populates it as if it were a new install.

If your alternate directory is not persistent you will loose many things -- words added to spell check dictionary, step filter configuration, exported registry settings, clipboard history, hashtag configuration. Consider creating a script to save and restore the contents of the ramdisk to persistent storage.

Ok. Maybe consider this feature request - I think it would be useful to have the ability store the caches in ram.

Thanks.
