hiIt is a Windows Environment variable How to set the path in Microsoft Windows
The TEMP folder is a system folder designed to be used by and shared for all apps. LR uses this folder because it efficiently utilizes space and housekeeping managed by the OS. This is typical for all apps and every OS that I have ever coded for. You can move TEMP from the C:\ drive or Share TEMP across Multiple drives, but it will always be used by all apps that require TEMP storage (Scratch Disk) The purpose of Temporary storage is that the files are automatically deleted when the app is closed and the space is free for other applications to use it.hi
thanks
but i would like to change them only for lightroom , maybe there is a way to add it in the lightroom preferences
set TEMP=c:\Your_Temp_Folder
set TMP=c:\Your_Temp_Folder
start "" "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Lightroom\Lightroom.exe"
exit
This is not really a work around since relocating the TEMP folder applies to all apps started or accessing TEMP after the change and there is no reversion until you reboot or run another countermanding batch scriptYou can make this little workaround
I'm pretty sure that set (vs setx which is a little cheat introduced in windows 7 +/-) will only affect child processes. That assumes it's the 64 bit version of LR.This is not really a work around since relocating the TEMP folder applies to all apps started or accessing TEMP after the change and there is no reversion until you reboot or run another countermanding batch script
