Any way to prevent wallch to update .cache/wallpaper?

  • 772

Directing Wallch to My Pictures and rotate every X mn, I want to preserve my SSD from this directory to be constantly updated along the day by files that are several Megs each. Yet I disabled Walch's thumb cache at .cache/wallch. I'm afraid there is no way to prevent update of .config/wallch/History.conf, but this one is a very little file so I hope constant update won't overwear my ssd. .cache/wallpaper is the remaining question.

    You could make a temporary filesystem on your RAM and then replace the offending directories with symbolic links (you might have to stop wallchbefore doing this)

    rm ~.cache/offending-dir

ln -s /absolute/path/to/offending/dir /tmp
