I’ve found it to be any way you want it. It’s like a 4D Easter Egg…if this folder is present next to the application (.exe or .app) then that’s where it puts its cache folder instead of in the normal place.
It makes it easy to have a copy of 4D set aside specifically for connecting to 1 server. Keep in mind that if you then use that app to connect to multiple servers (quit, connect to server 2, quit, connect to server 3, etc) then each server is REPLACING the connects of the cache files from the previous server. 4D v17.5 changed the way it names the cache folder, so in most cases this is no longer necessary.
