But one thing i would definitely like to see added, is the possibility to decide where to save the blockchain file. If you are not offering command line wallet. Its the one reason i usually skip GUI wallets, as i have not seen any that would let me store the possibly huge blockchain where i want it.
Try this:
Iridium_Wallet.exe --data-dir your_dest_dir
Its a gui wallet, not forknote or simplewallet.

command line options are ok on Mac OS X, Linux and Windows : All command line options can be seen by calling the app with --help :

MacOs, Linux : ./Iridium_Wallet.app/Contents/MacOS/Iridium_Wallet --help
Windows : "C:\Program Files (x86)\Iridium Wallet\Iridium_Wallet.exe" --help

On Windows, you can make a shortcut and add --data-dir  you_folder option so for storing the blockchain in the directory "iriumFolder" on a D drive, the entire line is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Iridium Wallet\Iridium_Wallet.exe" --data-dir  D:\iridiumFolder

And a last thing : people with a new fresh windows install with MSVCP140.dll and VCRUNTIME140.dll missing error, the vcredist_x86.exe (the Microsoft Visual C++ redistributable libraries) installer is in the folder where you installed the Iridium_Wallet, so for a common installation, you will find it in C:\Program Files (x86)\Iridium Wallet



Ok, it worked. I don't know what i did the first time when i tried using the command line option. Now i got it syncked neatly in one folder. I want all these wallets so that i can transfer them on a external HD.

Thanks!
