Moving the application Data File

I do not have much disk space on my C: drive so I need to move the AllDup Application Data Folder to another (fixed) drive.
I can see the location of this file in the Options/General panel, but cannot change it. I can change the Folder for temporary files.

Solution: Create a junction point to the new application data folder on the other drive.
For Example, if your Application Data Folder is "C:\user\joe\alldup":
1. Move the content of the application data folder to the new application data folder.
2. Delete the application data folder "C:\user\joe\alldup".
3. Create the junction point "C:\user\joe\alldup" linked to the new application data folder.

Wouldn't the
Portable Edition (further down on the download page) afford the ability of (of course) allowing the program itself to be (placed) where ever one likes, & similarly the 'Application data folder' & 'Folder for store temporary files' to be set (from within the program itself) & honored.
With that, if wanted, the /db/, /log/, & /temp/ directories can all be within the program directory itself.
(That's what I do.)
