Feature Request: Cache Folder Relocate Option on Error

Explorer ,
Mar 26, 2025 Mar 26, 2025

As someone who works with a removable cache disk on many work stations, I hereby suggest replacing the After Effects error(s) dialogs such as:

'Disk Cache folder doesn't exist ... so wil be reset to system temporary directory.'
with a simple dialog box prompting you to relocate/relink the cache to a directory of your choosing.

This would provide several benefits:

  • Allow a user to connect your removable disk and proceed without doing the tedious extra step of going into the system settings and relocating there.
  • Allow you to choose another directory easily if your removable media is unavailable or full.
  • Still allow anyone to hit 'cancel' to default to the system temporary directory as normal with the same amount of clicks.


Any other similar error messages that I'm not thinking of right now could implement this relinking dialog for an overall streamlined workflow and improved quality of life.
