Does anyone know how to configure QT wallets to download the blockchain to a non-default directory?  I'm running a small primary SSD (C drive) and a larger data storage drive (D drive) on Win 7 64 bit.

I've managed to move the block chain and reference it from the exe that starts the wallet (D:\COINS\Dogecoin\dogecoin-qt.exe -datadir="D:\COINS\dogecoin") after its been downloaded, but I'd rather have the block chain initially start downloading to my D:\COINS\ directory. 

Do any qt wallets support this? Is it configurable before starting the download?

Any info or links would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
- VR

I must say I was trying to do it but without messing in the code of qt I think this is not possible...

But I must say if someone know the answer it would be very nice - I was searching for that answer for more than a day ... and nothing found.

I haven't seen anything else out there in my research.   Anyone else have an idea?
