I would, but the options are very limited:

Storage=  Controls where to store cores. 
Compress= Controls compression for external storage.
ProcessSizeMax= The maximum size in bytes of a core which will be
ExternalSizeMax=, 
JournalSizeMax=
MaxUse=, 
KeepFree=

The fix for my system(s) is to revert the core_pattern setting to 'core', but I
opened this report to point out that the current setting is a poor default for
openSUSE. 

For unprivileged users it should be:
A core dump is disabled by default (as it used to be). When it is enabled with
ulimit, a core dump is placed in the working directory, subject to applicable
quotas.
