Crossover Mac and external drives

Hi there, I have been using Crossover for a while, mainly for Game support and 3D software. I'm a freelance animator and Crossover makes my job easier when it comes to windows only applications. Thank you!

I'm here because I am low on disk space. I have half a Terabyte for an external drive, and I'd like to put the 11.5 GB of crossover data onto the external drive. How could I set up CrossOver Games to retrieve program data from my external drive instead of the application support?

Thank you for your time

You'll want to copy your (home folder)/Library/Application Support/Crossover folder to the external drive. Then delete that folder from your local drive, and fire up terminal and do a "ln -s (path to folder on external drive) (home folder)/Library/Application Support/Crossover" to create a symbolic link from where Crossover expects the folder, to its new location on your external drive.

Please Note: This Forum is for non-application specific questions relating to installation/configuration of CrossOver. All application-specific posts to this Forum will be moved to their appropriate Compatibility Center Forum.
