Re: housekeeping
I'm using Transcend 150x 2G cards most of the time. They work great, $21 each from NewEgg.com. I've never had any problems with Photoshop temp files on Mac OS X. Must be a Windows thing. DNG files created in the K10D are larger than PEF files (average 16M vs average 11M) due to the fact that Pentax applies lossless compression to the PEF files but not to the DNGs. I keep the K10D set on RAW/PEF to save space on the card, then auto-convert them to DNG on import to Lightroom. Lightroom's DNG conversion produces the same file size as the PEFs on average (so does DNG Converter if you leave the lossless compression option turned on).

I have both Bridge and Camera Raw set to create distributed cache files. They are created in each directory that Bridge processes. In a directory with 105 PSD image files, one is about 16M and the other is about 44K. Yes, they take up some space, but I don't consider that to be excessive. That directory contains about 3.1Gbytes worth of data files and four more subdirectories. 16M worth of cache information seems trivial when you consider how much time it takes for Bridge/ Camera Raw to reprocess that much data and cache the thumbnails, etc. This is not a problem... BTW, I do seem to recall reference to Photoshop temp files not being deleted and accumulating on Windows systems, I think it was on Photo.net.

Re: housekeeping
A related question. How can one regenerate the thumbnails displayed in Bridge? I'm on CS2. It seems (not sure) that several times when I've opened Bridge and looked at a folder that was still being copied to, from the camera CF, that it loses it's mind and does not generate all the thumbnails.

Re: housekeeping
Set Bridge to use a distributed cache. Quit Bridge, go to the directory you want to have it reprocess, delete the two files it makes ... Adobe Bridge Cache.bc Adobe Bridge Cache.bct ... then restart Bridge. It will reprocess the folder in its entirety. Otherwise, when you have the Folders panel frontmost in the sidebar, there is a menu at the top with a Refresh command. This sometimes works. ;-) G On Jun 7, 2007, at 11:55 AM, Tom C wrote: > A related question. How can one regenerate the thumbnails > displayed in > Bridge?

Thanks. I couldn't get the Refresh command to do anything at all. I selected the Purge Central Cache command, and it decided it needed to automatically regenerate the thumbnails.

Backing up temp and cache files is ridiculous. They're not your data, they're the applications and OS transient data stores and are recreated automatically, dynamically, as the system and applications run. Backing them up is simply a waste of space in the archive. I use the incremental Backup application to do all my regular account things and exclude all transient temp files and caches, as well as the photographic files. Photo files are large and I don't want to use incremental backups on them ... that would waste a tremendous amount of space as well. I only want the latest versions replicated in the backup stores. I use a file synchronizer to back them to the archives specifically rather than an incremental backup utility. It proves to be an efficient system. The photo backups run every evening automated, or when I say "do it now", the main system backup runs every week. Backup storage capacity is consumed at an economical rate this way.

Not sure about Elements, but in PS look in preferences and then plug-ins and scratch disks. That's where the PS temp files go - they are something like Photoshop Temp### where the ## are numbers. Last winter a friend called and asked me to look at her computer because she was out of disk space and didn't know why. She must of had 50 gigs of old PS temp files on it! In my experience if you properly shutdown PS it removes the temp file, but if the system crashes or the program is terminated abnormally, then the temp file is left behind... > Probably the same somebody was telling me that DNG files were much bigger, > or something like that.
