Hello,
where I can find in options the setting for "Directories Properties" in the version 0.9.9?
In the help file of version 0.9.9 it is described in "program settings".
In an earlier version of PDFCreator it is possible to set the path for temporary files and I would like to change this path.
I have a SSD and I use a RAM-disk for temporary files to accelerate my system.
Regards
Jochen
I have found the registry key "PrinterTemppath" before and I have changed the path. This works fine until I open in PDFCreator the menu "option" and click the save button. Then the registry key is overwritten and set again to "PDFCreator\\".
We have removed this panel. You have to set this value via registry. To many users misunderstood this feature.
I dont think that setting the temp path to a RAM Disk will improve performance very much as long as you dont have a SSD with a crappy JMicron controller without cache that needs 200ms for a write access.
It will improve drastic the performance (SSD: OCZ Core v2). I have tested it with version 0.9.8. If you generate a pdf from a large picture PDFcreator generate large temporary files (e.g. ~100MB) on your disk before you save it as pdf or an other format. In this case you need a very large cache ... the working memory is the fastest and cheapest cache solution.
Please could this feature be reintroduced. It was very help useful when working on a network and you wanted the spool folder to be in the users area rather than on the local machine.
Maybe reintroduce it with more descriptive title etc and a big warning message for those who don't understand it so the rest of us can keep using it.
We have PDFCreator in our standard image and because the temp directory defaults to the user directory of the admin account it was installed under, when we log on as the restricted user that will permanently be using the machine, they have no access to that admin users directory and we have to change the temp location for them. This can be done reasonably easily in the registry as you suggest but it was handy having it in the gui options.
