The custom install path is a welcome change. I didn’t have a lot of space to put a complete windows install in /var when I’ve set up /home on a different partition (with most of my storage space). This lets me put that 32GB where I have the excess space.
Even if the application doesn’t support it, you can just bind mount a directory on the storage drive into /var as the directory where it is trying to save and the application won’t even know.
