I'm not sure, but I think the file locations are hard-coded or configured at compile time, so no easy way to move them. For OfflineCache there's an "Offline Website Data" checkbox in the Privacy & Security options about what should be cleared. As I understand it, the media cache should be cleared when the main cache is cleared, and I couldn't find any other way to do it; I'd file a bug about that one. Starting SeaMonkey with the -purgecaches option should clear startupCache, but on startup rather than on termination. It stores JavaScript belonging to SeaMonkey itself and to extensions. AIUI, there's no pref to handle this because it's loaded before any prefs are, and the -purgecaches option is there because extension developers need to be able to clear it while they're testing things. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
