XDK IoT limit/feature request? Long Paths - change npm download location

[Yashar_F_]

Intel XDK IoT uses the path "C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Intel\XDK IoT Edition\xdk\node_modules" to stage the node modules that need to be packed and sent to the target.  This is a lot of characters and windows has a 260(?) patch character limit, and causes XDK to popup an error message.  How can we make a feature request so we can move this to a different location like "c:\tmp\xdk"?

I ran into issue when trying to use the latest version of ble-bean npm module through XDK IoT for deployment to an Edison board.

Thanks,

Yashar
