Ok - I am going to have to do some research...but thought I'd start here to see if anybody understands or knows what the "scratch disks" are?
One reason I needed a new computer is because my old one didn't have enough memory...
I always got the message "cannot complete_____ command because the scratch disks are full"
well, new computer - three separate hard drives...lots of memory and when I tried to batch edit some pics, half way into it I got the scratch disk message???
also - when I was trying to save & close the images into JPegs that had finished all my edits, I got this message:
there is not enough disk space left at the cache location
C:\users\john\app data\roaming\adobe\bridge cs5\cache\.
thumbnails & previews will not be generated or cached to disk. Please quit Bridge & add more disk space to the cache volume, or change the cache location in Cache preferences. The restart Bridge.
OK - so I obviously need some education! :)
