Comment #7 on issue 14545 by m...@chromium.org: Cache dir needs to be under ~/Library/Caches http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=14545
This might actually be a good first bug for a 20%er. The cache directory should move so that it has the same name that we currently use for the profile directory, except in ~/Library/Caches instead of ~/Library/Application Support. For example, a cache directory currently in ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Cache should move to ~/Library/Caches/Google/Chrome/Default. A cache directory currently in ~/Library/Application Support/Chromium/Default/Cache should move to ~/Library/Caches/Chromium/Default. Optionally, if a Cache directory is found within the profile, we can continue to use that instead of the new location in ~/Library/Caches. If the profile is outside of ~/Library/Application Support, the cache directory should remain within the profile by default. This enables profile portability. So does the bit about leaving the cache in the profile if it's already found there. This change shouldn't be terribly difficult to achieve. The cache directory can be redirected by starting at chrome::PathProvider in chrome/common/chrome_paths.cc and returning the value we want for chrome::DIR_USER_CACHE. Linux presently does this. See chrome::GetUserCacheDirectory chrome/common/chrome_paths_linux.cc. (Linux is apparently not smart enough to use a different cache for each profile. We are smart enough. We will do better.) That said, this is on the punch list for MacBeta. While it's a decent first bug for a 20%er, if a 20%er wants to take it on I'd strongly suggest starting on it now. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
