Does anyone have any experience re-directing the writing and temporary files created with Frescobaldi? I just received a new computer and it contains an embedded SSD, and I don't want to wear it out prematurely from constant writing of the drive.

Hi Josh,

I'm using an SSD with Frescobaldi too.

Do you really think that the brief temp writing of Frescobaldi (pre-saving the file before it's given an actual name) is going to seriously degrade the SSD in short time?
I really don't think that sounds too likely but...if you are concerned:

1) see attached photos: I would just check that box to have Frescobaldi save locally to a named file (thus avoiding a temp file creation) and
2) change the path to a non-SSD drive for default saving of normal named files (on Window, pick a non-C drive, for example, assuming your OS is the SSD)

Hope this helps you.
