Change the temp directory path





Hello,

the space on my work machine is very limited. with all the corporate stuff and software installed i have 20 GB left on my main SSD ( with 2 512GB HDDs with plenty of space) so I have to always make sure that the system's storage does not overflow. Today i have tried out Dimension and its a nice, bit buggy tool. But what i really miss on this software, and what blocks me from working now, is a setting to set the path for the temp directory as the software completely filled those 20 GB whilei was rendering on low quality.

I know that Photoshop and the other Tools feature these options so it would be great if you could offfer it for dimension too.
Thank you for the thoughtful feedback!  Definitely something we can look into. Please use the Adobe Dimension Feedback site ( <https://feedback.adobedimension.com/>  ) to share ideas.  The Adobe forums are great for discussion but usually very difficult to sort and find ideas so we are using a different platform for idea tracking and status updates.
hi [@gus\_fring](/u/gus_fring)

welcome to community :slight\_smile:

you have to set the path with the file name. not only the path of folder.

for example you have the folder temp in c and the file name is inputdata.xlsx

your path should be then: c:\temp\inputdata.xlsx

best regards

mahmoud Out of curiosity, what are the sizes of the files you’re trying to move? well, transferring your data and transferring that and your settings are different. data, such as music, letters, video, pictures can burn to disk or copy/move to external drive. installed applications won't go, you'll have to reinstall from disk or download. on the other hand, you can transfer settings, favorites etc. use files and settings transfer wizard. or laplink software and cable. seek and tell are still required.

see here: <https://docs.lvgl.io/latest/en/html/overview/file-system.html#use-drivers-for-images> Try to xcopy the data over to the external drive.



start>run>type "cmd">hit ok  

In dos window type "xcopy /?" this will show you all of the parameters or switchs used in xcopy.



If you are not famaliar with dos you may want to seek out a friend who is. You can use third party defragmentation tools that have central management consoles to manage the tools, monitor systems and report on fragmentation levels. These tools have the ability to start defragmentation based on a schedule or a fragmentation threshold level (tool dependent). What they also do well is provide reporting on how things are going on the systems you monitor fragmentation wise.


Here is a comparison page for some of the major defragmentation applications:  

[Comparison of defragmentation software](http://http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_defragmentation_software)


The big three from when I did some research several years ago:  

PerfectDisk  

O&O Defrag  

Diskeeper


Keep in mind that Windows includes basic defragmentation. You can schedule this using TaskSchedule. Basic defragmentation does not defragment page files, hyberfiles and the like. There are some other free tools available that can do various items like page files. This all requires you to piece together and and devise your own monitoring. If you need reporting and monitoring purchasing it is always simpler.


If you can justify the cost of a managed defragmentation program, these will all do a good job. Test each to see how they impact system performance in your environment while defragmenting as well as their management and reporting capabilities.


  

First, don’t wait for your hard disk drive to be hardly used before defragging it. You have to maintain a certain defragmentation period as part of the computer hardware maintenance for your computer system. When designing for a variety of resolutions you want to scale down, not up. Do your design in a @2x resolution (640 x 960 @72ppi) and for the @1x assets you duplicate them to a new document (preferably) and scale them down by 50%. You can set up a Action script for this also to make the process go by faster. To learn a bit about Photoshop action script you can have a look [HERE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRpPGiGXcHc).


As for your second question, [HERE YOU GO](https://www.dropbox.com/s/sczltvow7jgtfiy/iPhone%204%20GUI%20PSD%20Retina%20Display.psd). The "reload" symbol you were after can be found in that Retina asset sheet, a sheet that is very good to have for anyone who wants to design for iPhone. it might be that the drives were formatted as 1tb, if you do a factory restore it might format the drives to the 2tb. you will lose your data though. there is no need for a program to do that. 

here are some simple steps which you can follow:

1.right click on your taskbar and choose start task manager.

2.once task manager is opened go to "processes" tab. 

3.when at the processes tab search for .exe file. (maybe in your case it will look like loop.exe or something) 

4.once you have found it. just right-click on it and hover over to "set priority" option. 

5.here are several options. the default one will be "normal" so just set that to "below normal" or "low". (i would prefer setting it to "below normal" so that it does not act strangely) 

6.it's done now restart your program and check the amount of ram it is using.

i hope this helps you. if not leave a reply and i will figure out another solution. glad to help.:) Until you have a computer with no moving parts, hard drives or tapes, you cannot push enough data through a 1 gig card to use it’s full capabilities. The best servers can burst up to about 600 meg. Only a backup could sustain any data transfer that gets close to that. At this time, 10 gig is for switch to switch.
