Question

100gb+ Temporary file

I was making a quick document that was about 6 pages long mostly text, a placed branded header and a couple bar graphs. Next thing you know i have a 125gb memory usage by indesign which is my entire free space on my drive. I never had this issue on Indesign 2015 which I recently upgrade from. The entire adobe suite is having memory issues like this since I have upgraded. Yesterday I was merging an HDR in photoshop and it did the same thing. Honestly thinking of rolling back it is ruining my sanity and workflow. This will usually crash my computer from having no disk space and ram at 100%.

Mojave 10.14.6

2.5ghz I7

16gb ram

SSD

Nvidia GT 750m

    Hey Jmatos30,

     

    this depends on you actual file.

    • Was the file created in InDesign CC 2019 or did you choose an old file which you just wanted to change?
    • Did you try to reinstall InDesign ?
    • Can you check if there are any Mojave updates available for your system ?

     

    Photoshop uses disk memory temporarily while you run some actions … that's pretty normal for Photoshop.

    Adobe After Effects & Adobe Premiere Pro are doing the same … a little bit different … just for information (https://helpx.adobe.com/after-effects/using/memory-storage1.html#memory_ram_usage_in_64_bit_after_effects)

     

    Greetings,

    Philipp

    HI Philipp,

    The file was created in CC 2019 Indesign, it was created and completed in about an hour with frequent saves.  I have not tried reinstalling the suite as I don't have access to an internet connection fast enough to redownload it right now. I will have to check for some updates when I get to a faster connection.

     

    It just seemed odd in all the years I have used the suite I have never seen it take such a large page file usage for something so simple.
