Currently it seems (at least on Vista 64) that APG doesn't clean up temp files until you exit (or if it crashed on start). It would be very nice if it cleaned up associated temp files when you close a group or a pano.
Here's why:
I am finding myself using my laptop to find panoramas (and move them to a sub folder) before I start reviewing the files in lightroom. However, I only have 100GB of temp space free on my laptop. And when processing through a 32GB compact flash card that's not nearly enough space to decode all the raws. So I have APG process the folder and create the groups. Then I manually start detection on a couple groups. Save the panos (and use extended save as to move the images out of the folder) and then I close down APG to clear out the temp. Open it again, generate the groups and pick some more to process. It would be nice if when I closed a group after the panos had been found, all the temp files that aren't associated with found panoramas be removed. When I close a panorama after saving it, all the temp files associated with it should be removed.
Thanks for your consideration of this feature request

I know this is a bit late to reply, but I just found 500+GB, yes, over half a terabyte located in my AUTOPANO TEMP FOLDER. That is really killing the system. I have a 100GB of temp space allocated in windows.
Is there a way to over come this?
I am not sure if this is related, but lately when I have set APG to search and make pano in a folder, I have come back to find my computer have restarted, it didn't complete any pano's but made the initial *.pano file on 10 out of 13 sub-folders (there was in the region of 1000+ images in total across these sub-folders)
Thanks

tived,
anytime autopano crashes from my experience, whatever temp files it had open get orphaned and remain taking up disk space, and similarly when your computer unexpectedly restarts which is what sounds like is happening to you.

having just got a 120GB SSD I was eager to test it as my temp drive, and it really does speed up the raw decoding portion of finding panoramas, and keeps the quad core cpu at 100% much more. However, it quickly burns through all the temp space. I can close panoramas as it finds them, but that does nothing to recover the temp space. I recognize that it's a somewhat tricky problem in that you end up having to track references to the files given that a group and a pano probably refer to and use the temp file but implementing the remove on use would also reduce the amount of time it takes to close the program and fewer orphaned files on crash.

Yes, i pays to run through your temp directories every now and then, and do some house cleaning
Its good to hear your SSD is paying off.
