Custom use of scratch drives

Rather than one big scratch disk I've got a lot of disks each with space on them. I've set up the software to use them all, and so it does. Unfortunately it uses every last byte on a disk before moving on to the next one, and this makes windows do all kinds of strange things at times.

Would it be possible to have a setting to tell the software to use all but the last x GB of a disk?

Re: Custom use of scratch drives

I would suggest not to use disks that are also used by windows. Have one or two scratch disks specially for that purpose.

Re: Custom use of scratch drives

I do try to, but Windows complains any time any of my disks get completely full - it comes up with a "do you want to tidy this disk" message, which I'm sure eats at least some processor time etc.

Re: Custom use of scratch drives

O it will eat some processor time but compared to what APG uses it will be nothing. Problably an option that can be turned of somewhere inside windows.

Re: Custom use of scratch drives

There was some discussion about this in this bug report. http://www.kolor.com/forum/t15450-apg-3 … rary-space

My understanding is that if you ahve multiple temp folders for autopano, it will leave 1GB of space before moving on to the next one. However if you only have one drive (like a laptop for example) it will use up every last byte which causes lots of problems with windows and mac os X
