JustinAiken Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 How do I create a folder on the cache drive that will stay there instead of getting moved to the main unRaid structure, without making it invisible to Finder? I'd like to keep my downloads directory on there, but still be able to access it from my desktop computer so I can clean the downloads up and work with metadata before moving into my user shares hierarchy...

HAVOC Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Add a period in front of the folder. Example if Test is the name of the folder; name it .Test Quote Link to comment
JustinAiken Posted October 8, 2011 Author Share Posted October 8, 2011 But then my desktop can't see it; is there any other way? Quote Link to comment
smiffy1989 Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 You could change your desktop to show hidden files and folders? Or you can just type the location manually? Quote Link to comment
HAVOC Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Yeah basically that how I have transmission and crash plan installed. Quote Link to comment
Johnm Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 what version of unraid are you running? In the latest betas, this is a feature that has been added. you can set a folder/share to only exist on the cache drive. Quote Link to comment
dgaschk Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 unmenu has a package that lets you use an "_" instead of a dot. Quote Link to comment
prostuff1 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 unmenu has a package that lets you use an "_" instead of a dot. That does not work on the latest versions of unRAID. Quote Link to comment
Joe L. Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 unmenu has a package that lets you use an "_" instead of a dot. That does not work on the latest versions of unRAID. True, BUT they have the feature to specify a cache only folder. (it does no harm either, it just does not do anything) Anybody can certainly edit their personal copy of the mover script... It is just a shell script. Joe L. Quote Link to comment
JustinAiken Posted October 11, 2011 Author Share Posted October 11, 2011 I just used a dot, and used the Finder's Command-G to go there, then drug it to the sidebar; now it works Thanks guys! Quote Link to comment
JustinAiken Posted October 20, 2011 Author Share Posted October 20, 2011 Ok, another question... If I "move" the files from my download folder on the cache drive into the usershares, it actually moves them by copying and deleting them, even though it's moving from the same drive (/cache/.download/ to /cache/Video/somewhere ) If I telnet in and move them with mc, then I lose my folder colors in Finder, which I use to keep track of which movies are HD or not... Is there another way to do this? Quote Link to comment
dgaschk Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Can you determine which are HD by file size? Quote Link to comment
