How to separate the cache and settings of FS 6.x and 7.x


1. Install the FS 6.x to another folder than then the default release folder



Choose Browse -> create a new folder - call it FS_6 or FS_Old...or and install the 6.x release in this folder.


2. Start it and make all wanted settings and define a cache location which will be only the cache location for this viewer version


3. Go to your Settings folder - it can be easily found using the Open Settings folder. (see pic above)

Left the Win Explorer open and exit the viewer.

4. In the folder you will find the "settings.xml" - rename it to "settings6.xml"

5. Edit the shortcut properties of the shortcut used to start the viewer and include the "--settings settings6.xml" in the target section:

"C:\Program Files\FS_Old\Firestorm-Releasex64.exe" --settings settings6.xml

6. Install the 7 release with standard values.

It will be installed in the standard "Firestorm-Releasex64" Folder and use the default cache location.
Of course, this location can also be changed (just don't use the one from the 6) and should be set to 20GB (max) for the 7.

Now you will have 2 settings in your settings folder. One for the 6 and one for the 7.
Settings made in one of them will not affect the other one + cache will be separated.
