change path for igi and png

Is it possible to change the path for the igi and png files? It doesn't seem to be possible in the sketchup output settings. Its's just because I use a SSD, and saving the igi to the default render folder gives me a lot of bytes written, so I fear about the lifetime of my SSD... :(

Your SSD will outlive you. Nothing to worry about.

Sorry, but I don't think so. After only one project, I already have 5.0 TB written. Just because I use the "save igi" option. Samsung writes something about 240TB, after this you will get problems. Seems I will reach the 240 TB after about 48 projects. If I work on 12 projects a year, the SSD will get problems after 4 years. And I'm not only using Indigo. Other software also write bytes...

What do you think?

If you get a recent Indigo beta (e.g. 3.6.19) you can change the render folder used in the options dialog.
