OK. That are the hard facts.
- Maximum Disk Cache Setting is at 90 GB,
- Dialog Box is at ignore status.
Hopefully that are the best settings I can make.
If I clear the Disk Cache by the "clear disk cache" button in the AE Prefs, it first informs me, to be sure to delete all the (90GB) files on that cache and after doing so, the available size of that SSD is back at 127 GB. So I can say YES, the space on the drive is greater than the max disk cache size after the clearing.
The app.purge script works not in the way, that the files, saved on the cache drive, gets deleted. I´ve tried all of them, the ALL_CACHES, UNDO_CACHES, SNAPSHOT_CACHES and IMAGE_CACHES, found on page 27 in the CS6 scripting guide.
The UNDO and SNAPSHOT options in the After Effects >> Edit >> Purge section get not available anymore, after running this script….
app.purge(PurgeTarget.ALL_CACHES);
app.purge(PurgeTarget.UNDO_CACHES);
app.purge(PurgeTarget.SNAPSHOT_CACHES);
app.purge(PurgeTarget.IMAGE_CACHES);
alert("ALL DONE");
…., So something happened on the RAM files or so. But not to the saved files on my SSD. But, thank you for the idea. It´s always good to give it a try.
Now, just to know if we can do it, trying to delete the saved files by a script.
Yes you are right, if I load an old project, the files were gone and it takes a little time to re-render them, but that is a problem of having only a 127GB SSD drive.
THX so far ...
A little bit late, bit here is the thing.
Create a script with this content:
app.executeCommand(10200);
alert("Cache cleared!");
and put it into: Adobe\Adobe After Effects CC\Support Files\Scripts\Startup
It will clear All memory & Disk Cache.
