Be careful with / possibly exclude cache dir depending how you do it. Caused quite serious problems. Linux or mac, using appimage and app bundle respectively, haven't had same issue. However did have another cache bug with appimage originally due to it randomizing paths between runs. So, there's some caching issues with updated (and possibly moved files) not being picked up. > Also would it make sense do something similar with the non-snap packages? > Could you elaborate?
