How can I set the shadow copy path used by the (NUnit) test runner?

Hello Hugh,

At the moment there's no way to control the location where shadow copies
are created. You're welcome to put a feature request through our issue tracker:
http://youtrack.jetbrains.net/issues/RSRP and we will consider providing
such option in one of the future releases. The 'shadow copying' is a .NET
Framework mechanism (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms404279.aspx
for more information) and ReSharper has no control over shadow copy lifetime
management. Thank you!

Hi all,

I like using the R# test runner, but recently I've moved to a laptop
and have to encrypt folders which could contain confidenial material,
including build outputs.  The test runner seems to create a new,
randomly-named 8.3 filename in %TEMP% for each build/run.  I don't
quite dare encrypt all of %TEMP%, for fear of screwing up some other
processes (e.g., ones which aren't running as me).  Is there some way
to pick a specific folder, under which all shadow copies folders
should be placed?  This would also help with deleting old shadow
copies, since I could find them without having to look through all the
folders under %TEMP%.

(Hmm ... come to that, how about an option to automatically delete
shadow copy folders older than X days, or something?)

I'm currently on R# 5.0, BTW.

Thanks for any hints,
Hugh.
