Can you change where on disk a bottle is stored? I want to put my bottle on a second hard drive where I have more space, but I think I found that it's stored in the home directory. Any way to change this?

Thanks.

/home/username/.cxoffice is the directory where all the CrossOver settings & bottles get stored. For CrossOver Games it's .cxgames. Bottles each have their own directory inside .cxoffice .

So you could do this pretty easily with symlinks. For example to move the whole .cxoffice directory to a different drive, just move the directory as normal to where you'd like (and rename it if you wish), and then at a console type:

ln -s /path/to/moved/directory /home/username/.cxoffice

Replace username with your user name, obviously. GUI tools can do this too, i.e. in KDE3 if you drag a file or directory while holding ctrl+shift, it will create a symlink where you drop it. If you just wanted to move one bottle, it would be a similar process, with the appropriate directory within .cxoffice .

Hi, I'm using Ubuntu Hardy AMD64 and CrossOver Prof. and I have crated a new folder (cxoffice) on a second HD. than I have made the symlink, than I have copied all files/folders from /home/username/.cxoffice to /media/sda9/cxoffice. After thus, I have delete the files/folders in /home/username/.cxoffice. Now crossover doesn't start anymore.

What's wrong ??
