Is there a way to limit the size of the cache in the .ignition users folder? There are a few shared machines here and each one has 2-3 gigs stored in the .ignition folder of each user. ---

one way is to add a `redirect.txt` file in each users `.ignition` folder which has a single line with a path pointing to some shared location (make sure each user has access) NOTE that this means that the users share launcher configurations too. ---
