Instruct me: How to relocate .tag file

Post by metamorphosis »

.tag is the only file in the workspace taking up a lot of space (22MB for my tiny project) and on NZ internet speeds, that makes automatic backups of the project pretty slow.
Is there a way to relocate the tags file without relocating all the other workspace files?
Relocating the binary export locations was easy enough, but can't figure this one out-
THanks in advance

The .tags is the code completion database created by codelite. You should not backup this file. It is usually located under the workspace path .codelite:
WORKSPACE_FOLDER/.codelite

in fact, the entire content of that folder should be excluded from backup
