[LINUX/MAC/WINDOWS] Changing "userdata" folder location?

[htpcNOOB]

First off, I've been with XBMC for 'the box' since XBMP. Just less than a month ago, I learned XBMC was available for windows. After multiple iterations of HTPC software from myHTPC->Meedio->MediaPortal->MCE, I can say this is the HTPC software I have been longing for. Cheers to the devs. :nod::nod:

Anyway, my issue at hand. I have a dedicated htpc running XBMC of course with default installation. I know XBMC places the users profile in the users data folder ("C:\Docs & Settings\...\XBMC\Userdata\..."). Since my C:\ parition is there a way I can specify in XBMC where to look for the Userdata folder instead of it being in the default location. I want to move it to another partition.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry for send post. Cant edit. Meant to say my C:\ partition is small... . As you can guess, Im running:

- Asus P5B-MX mATX
- Intel E2160 1.8GHZ
- ATI Radeon x1550 PCI-E
- Windows XP SP3
- XBMC nightly compiled

Im also looking for the same feature, im using ubuntu and use a compact flash card for a harddrive for OS.

Not launching the XBMC.exe executable with the "-p" parameter switch will make XBMC write the userdate to XBMC installation folder.

So edit the target in the shortcut (XBMC.cut in Windows Start Menu under Programs), from:
"C:\Program Files\XBMC\XBMC.exe" -fs -p
to
"C:\Program Files\XBMC\XBMC.exe" -fs

Any other location and you will have to edit the source code.

PS! "-p" stands for 'profile', meaning userdata.

You can change the path of the master profile in system/profile.xml.
