it is possible, just make a link to darktable with the new cache directory
and use that to start dt.

Hi,

yes and no.

Yes - pointing darktable on startup to a new chachedir is working but
resulting in an empty thumbnails cache.

I can move the old ones ...

No - because starting darktable-generate-cache then creates all the
thumbnails from scratch in the old and not the new directory.

Fixed this with the core option for darktable-generate-cache.

To summarize, it seems that the change in the path for the cache
directory is not persistent

I have to point to that directory on each start of darktable itself or
of darktable-generate-chache.

Hi,

This is possible from the command line.  See:
