My Desura cache is currently on my C drive, but its almost full. Desura suggests moving it to another drive. I have an external hard drive, but I cant find the setting that allows me to relocate the cache. Anybody else know how?

this issue seems to be on going from 2012, 2 years to fix this and still no fix, Desura devs when on earth are you going to fix this?

Same problem, Win 8 here. I copied the cashe, common and icon folders, deleted then reinstalled Desura on another drive, and then pasted the copied folders in the new install location.
Now verification keeps looking at the old location, resulting in error, and all 3 verification options don't work. properties is grayed out, and can't uninstall or reinstall either.
Desura only works with installs done after the move, but is useless for the games moved from the previous location, other than still listing them.
-Only solution I found is to launch the games directly from the exe files in the folders.
-Is this a problem that can be fixed in the registry? Any advise would be appreciated!
