The first thing you should do is completely exit out of Snagit (and the editor). This will let you modify the capture library, and also ensure that you don’t lose any data from it.

Next, copy over the library to the location you want it. A robocopy with the proper parameters should move everything over while maintaining security settings. To do this open up the command prompt and type in the following command: robocopy C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local\Techsmith G:\Destination /e /secfix /copyall /b /sl /xj Obviously, change the “G:\Destination” part to match up with the path of where you are moving the Snagit library too, and the username to match up with your Windows username. You can open the command prompt by typing “cmd.exe” into the Windows Search box.

Once the copy is done, check the destination and make sure everything is copied over properly.

Now open up the %AppData%\local\ folder containing the original files and delete the TechSmith folder.

Now open up CMD again, this time as an administrator. The command this time around will create the symbolic link. It’s similar to the robocopy: mklink C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local\TechSmith G:\Destination

That’s all there is to it. Now you can open Snagit back up and it won’t even know that you moved the library to an entirely different drive. Enjoy!

ALSO, why can microsoft NOT let us choose which folder to put out my document in other partrition rather in the same C: partrition ? The win 7 or win 8 shall give us a choice ? Becasue the capacity of SSD is limited for my PC,which is about 60G. The available Space is less than 1 G now aftert only 3 months. We are not happy with this kind of thing after we paid so much for the windows 8 ? Do you agree ? Comment
