Wrong cache location

When viewing online reality meshes from URL the cache is saved to Roaming appdata folder(%appdata%\Bentley\iTwinCaptureDesktopViewer\cache). It is not acceptable as it bloats Roaming folder which can take GB of data and then synchronized to roaming profile on domain server.

It should utilize temp folder for such purposes as no need to have permanent cache. Or option to configure .

    The application I attached in category - former Acute3D Viewer which now is called "Bentley Systems iTwin Capture Desktop Viewer 2024 Update 1 - Version 24.1.4.380" 64-bit (Windows).
    GPR? What GPR stands for?
    Cache location is hardcoded and points to badly chosen location. Roaming profile is not meant for temp files. It is used for files when opened from URL.

    Not sure why but Bentley is no longer proud to display any 3D models on their website.
    But there are some still available for test. Like http://cdnllnw.bentley.com/u/Acute3DSamples/Production_Graz_3MX/Scene/Data/Production_Graz_3MX.3mxb

    Which application is using the "iTwinCaputreDesktopViewer" folder?
    Can you provide the GPR ID?
