Network Access Information
The ROM Properties Page Shell Extension has functions to access various Internet databases in order to download artwork.
This functionality can be disabled by using the rp-config utility,
or by setting the following value in the configuration file:
[Downloads]
ExtImageDownload=false
The configuration file is located at:
- Linux:
~/.config/rom-properties/rom-properties.conf - Windows:
%APPDATA%\rom-properties\rom-properties.conf
Downloaded images are saved in the following directory:
- Linux:
~/.cache/rom-properties/ - Windows XP:
%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\rom-properties - Windows Vista and later:
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow
NOTE: Prior to rom-properties v1.5, the Windows cache directory was
%LOCALAPPDATA%\rom-properties. It was moved to LocalLow in order
to allow rp-download to run as a low-integrity process. Existing
files were not migrated over, so those can either be moved manually
or deleted.
