Allow your apps to run from NON-boot drive

Between them a full install of Topaz Photo and Gigapixel eat up 116 GB of drive space. On a MacStudio witha 1TB drive, 20% of which must be left free, that’s over 15% of the total remaining space. Devoting 116 GB to two applications is just waaay too much. Please allow us to run those apps from an external drive. (I have several nvme’s just as fast as my boot drive). I’d love to be able to put your apps on any one of them, and use a Symbolic Link to them. That alone would nearly double my available boot drive free space.

Agreed. And, as mentioned in my other post, video and photo both have identical \site-packages\torch folders which are over 5GB each. Why duplicate these folders?
