Not sure if bug, question or feature request: With the most recent master of JabRef 5 I am slightly irritated not only by the appearing command window (this issue depends on externals), but also by the folder .openjfx that is created in my user directory. This has not been the case with previous versions. I only have very few folders in this directory - could the cache not be stored somewhere else or at least hidden?
Thanks for your work!

As the name suggests, this folder is created by OpenFX.
The thread https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53382810/configure-openjfx-11-to-extract-its-dlls-into-a-different-user-specified-directo suggests that adding -Djavafx.cachedir=C:\\Users\\xxx\\Temp\\cache to the last line (before -m) in JabRef\runtime\bin\JabRef.bat let you choose a different folder.

I agree that this is folder can be irrating. I would suggest you open a bug report at https://bugreport.java.com/bugreport/. Closing this issue as we can sadly do nothing.
