      @lorna Well, maybe just add in an "Advanced" checkbox and allow it, then you won't have to worry about it.

        Let me get this straight...

        The installer's size on disk is 584 KB (598,016 bytes).

        The total size on disk it's consuming in your appdata folder is 2.51 MB (2,634,752 bytes).

        If you don't delete the installer, then that's a total of 3.157 MB. If you delete the installer, then it's 2.51 MB being taken up.

        I have photos on my solid state drive that are bigger than 3.157 MB.

        Why are you worried about it? You have drivers and other things that are forcibly installed to C: that take up more space! Are you worried about wearing out your solid state drive?

          What's the big deal here? It's not like this is consuming several gigabytes. It's smaller than many photos these days!

          Good lord.

            It's a perfectly reasonable feature request. We have a lot of other things to finish first, I am thinking most of our Windows users would prefer custom circadian timing to custom install paths. I could be wrong.

              No, I think that it's an extremely high-priority to get a custom install path for f.lux so that I don't have to worry about running out of space on my drive.

                  OK. Dang. Because the custom circadian timing was really cool. :(

                    Nah. Screw the awesome features that everyone has been asking for. This is the absolute highest priority because it is a MAJOR issue. I'm down a whole 3 MB. I think I'm going to go into Panic Mode. Now I'm gonna have to go to the store to buy a new hard drive.
