Enhancement: Removal of DWriteCore traces in User folder.

[ZepopaOwleMukasa]

The distributed DWriteCore (DWrite.dll) component creates the directory "DWriteCore" inside of;

• XP and below: "C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Local Settings\Application Data"
• Vista and higher: "C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local"

only containing the "FontSet-v3.dat" file.

Directory and file appear to be useless and can be deleted, even during runtime, without triggering a "file in use" error. Directory and file do not get regenerated until the next restart of Supermium.

I'd like to propose the prevention of the creation of said directory and file as they seem to serve no purpose, cause unnecessary writes and just clutter up the Users folder structure.

In my case it actually creates in C:\ which is even more annoying

@zdland

Now that's odd, I can't reproduce that at all. What Windows are you using?

I don't want to remove the font cache altogether, but I can move it to the Supermium folder.

Hold on, that's supposed to be cache? How come it's only generated once per startup and then, seemingly, never used? I've never even seen it increase in size.

But if keeping it has some benefit/functionality, then that's okay too. As long as it is modified to be inside of Supermiums program folder instead, as it appears to somehow generate in other places for other Users.

It may be related to the installation (all users or current user), rather than the operating system. I'm using Windows 2003

A new shell DLL, pwp_shd.dll, will be introduced in the next version of Supermium, which will redirect the DWriteCore cache to the Supermium directory.
