Christopher - sorry I can't help with Mac. In WinFin 2005 I click on
Options
Program Options and choose the Folders item. At the bottom of the
Folder
lists is the location of Temporary Files.
I just went looking, and the default path for Finale's temp files is a
hidden folder in the root directory of my hard drive. I changed it in
Program Options to a normal folder so I can check it myself without
those geeky disk tools that show hidden files. I'll report back if I
find any weirdness going on.
For every new installation
I create a discrete folder for Finale's temporary files (for which I
create a shortcut on the desktop) and empty it manually very
frequently. This has been standard practice ever since I discovered
the problems that temporary files cause.
They can even affect the general running of the machine, not just
Finale - at least they used to before I knew what to do about it.
This includes slowing everything down.
David Fenton may very well be right that the (mis)management of these
temp files have no effect at all on Finale's health or speed of
operation. But at least I will able to confirm it, now that I can see
them.
