Database filename

Posts: 3 · premiumsaltine 20 Jun 2014, 13:04

I've tried searching and found nothing.

I'm running win64 version. Is it possible to change the database file name from "sync.ffs_db" to ".sync.ffs_db"?

I keep hidden files visible and seeing the database file in the middle of my files is kind of annoying.

Please help.

".sync.ffs_db" is already the Linux/OS X name of the database file.

I don't mean to be rude, but that information doesn't answer my question at all. I'm aware that is the databases name in Linux, but I would like to use that file name, or any other file name that starts with a "." in Windows. Is there no way to change what the file is named?

The file name is hardcoded and - due to technical reasons - the Windows and Linux/OS X variants need to have different names. Latter is ".sync.ffs_db", so it can't be used for Windows. That said, I can't think of a better name right now, that also sorts to the end of a file list in Windows Explorer.

Okay. Well, if I was talented enough to compile it, I would try, but thank you anyway.
