[Feature Request] Add Custom Installation Path Option for OpenCode Desktop to Avoid C: Drive Bloat #34664

Closed as not planned

Description

Feature hasn't been suggested before.

  • I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.

Describe the enhancement you want to request

As a developer with limited storage space on my system drive, I find the current installation process for OpenCode Desktop to be quite restrictive. The installer currently defaults to a simple, hardcoded installation directly onto the C: drive without providing users the option to choose a custom directory. For users whose C: drive space is already tight, this adds an unnecessary and heavy burden to the system partition, potentially impacting overall system performance and stability.
I kindly request that the OpenCode Desktop installer be updated to include a standard "Browse" or "Custom Path" option during the setup wizard. Allowing users to specify an alternative installation directory (such as D: or E:) would greatly enhance the user experience for those managing limited C: drive space.
I am genuinely excited about OpenCode and eager to integrate it into my daily workflow. However, the inability to redirect the installation path is currently a significant blocker for me. Providing this basic flexibility in the installer would make OpenCode much more accessible and user-friendly for a wider range of developers.
