Multiple Ram disks don't allow different temp file usage?

    I was able to configure two ramdisks (V and R), with "V" having more memory. I then set the temp variable use to CHECKED on "V".
    Then, I went back into the program and selected "R". I had to change the memory amount back to a previous value, because it was keeping the value for V. I also unchecked the "Temp" checkbox, since I only wanted Windows 11 temp variables in one location...
    Now, neither ramdisk has a temp folder?
    The ramdisk sizes DID remain different after a reboot, however, but neither is generating a temp folder...

    New features?
    1) Would it be possible to automatically set up something similar for TMP="%SystemRoot%\TMP
    2) Is it possible to set up multiple empty folders so that I can use another free program "Cache Relocator" to have specific programs' caches on specific ram drives AND separate from each other (i.e. separate subfolders)?
    For example, I have the cache redirecting for Steam and Visual Studio to separate subfolders within the larger ramdisk, but those folders don't get recreated automatically.

    Thanks for this program!! Along with the CacheRelocator, it greatly speeds up things and reduces hard drive usage!

    I just tested your scenario and the Temp folder is still created in the second ramdisk. So no issue for me.

    I am not sure to understand your point 1.
    About the point 2, the simplest way is to create the wanted folders into another one, and set this last one in the Data tab.
    For example, create a folder C:\MyFolders, and then
    C:\MyFolders\folder1
    C:\MyFolders\folder2
    C:\MyFolders\folder3
    Then, in the Data tab, use the field "Load Content from Image File or Folder" and set it to
    C:\MyFolders.

    An alternative is to create a batch file and specify it in "Run after mounting".
