Roland, is there an easy way to change where disParity writes the .tmp files it uses while processing large files? Using WHS I only have about 8GB free on the system drive (only 20GB partition... why MS, why?) but some of my files are on the order of 12GB+ and they get skipped during an update because the temp file can't be written. The only thing I'm thinking is "installing" disParity on the D: drive (~200GB free) but maybe in a future release could you add an option in the config file? I know you wanted to keep options to a minimum, but that one seems like a simple one to me. Thanks.

yes, you can:
config.txt
temp=D:\anywhere\you\want\

That simple huh? Didn't see anything in the readme.txt
I'll see if that works tonight during the scheduled update. Thanks.

Yeah the readme could stand to be better organized. Right now options and features are scattered around under the notes for the versions in which they were added. The "temp=" option is mentioned under the notes for version 0.17.

Thanks again klim: That worked perfectly. The only error I get now was for one file with an extremely long filename, but it is an .xml so I'm not too worried. But everything else is backed up once again!
