After some time flightgear user folder is filled with the cache subfolders. It could be reasonable to have one cache 'master' folder for all 'cache' or 'ephemeral' data. If on linux platform it could be even more reasonable to use user wide cache folder e.g. ~/.cache. Right now (as for my test home folder I have: Aircraft/ThumbnailCache, cache/, PreviewsCache/, TextureCache/* and /Terrasync (but it is rather not ephemeral)
It would be handy because:
Yeah, we should also move this local storage on Windows indeed.
Problem si everything is relative to FG_HOME, we'd need to add an FG_CACHE and then move some stuff over.
