I call BS. DM3 could. DivingLog can. Any well-behaved program will let you specify the location of your data file.I understand your intention but unfortunately it is not possible to change the DB location.
That's not the main issue. Forcing a specific location of a program's data comes with a bunch of issues. Cloud storage, e.g. Dropbox? No can do. Nonstandard document location (e.g. programs on C:, data on D: )? No can do. Personalized backup scripts? A pain in the nether regions.The log files a pretty small though and should not take up much space
I'm quite satisfied with my Suunto. My backup computer is also a Suunto. Other familiy members use Suuntos. When I bought my first Suunto, I downloaded DM4, installed it, discovered it didn't allow local proper (i.e. local) data storage and required Movescount login, and promptly uninstalled it. Fortunately, I was able to dig up a DM3 installation file, but my main electronic logging is on Divinglog, not Suunto's own software. Pretty ironic, isn't it? My only reason for still using DM3 is that bookmarks don't transfer to Divinglog.
