Scratch Disk Problem

Hello all
Following a few 'scratch disk full' errors I installed a 40Gb IDE to use
solely as scratch.
I have an action that takes an image, resizes it to 640*480, copies it and
resizes the copy to a thumbnail of 200*150 (nothing clever)
When I run this action my scratch disk fills up with a 34Gb photoshop temp
file and photoshop stops responding, prompting a reboot every time.
I'm pretty sure this isn't normal.
Any ideas/pointers to a solution would be most appreciated.
Cheers
Keith

Re: Scratch Disk Problem

make sure you have it set to pixels, not inches in the conversion action

If the computer crashes while Photoshop is open, Photoshop will save
the remp file. The windows explorer will say the space is available,
but photoshop thinks it is full.
Check your temp files. You may have some lage temp files that need to
be deleted manually.

I found an article in adobe forums http://shorterlink.com/?AF78R4
These steps may help significantly:
Open up your Preferences dialog. On the General page . Un-check the
box next to Export Clipboard. Set the History states to 1. Un-check the
box next to History Log. Set your memory slider is to 55 percent.
Also, convert the action to a droplet, and split the job into sections. If
all you need is a batch resize, there are other utilities to accomplish
this.
You don't mention your platform, but for Windows there is a "Resize Image"
add-on from Microsoft that works under XP.
