I do a lot of work with variables and data sets. Without fail, almost every time I Export Data Sets as Files, Photoshop freezes on me after the third or fourth data set. I have to force quite and start over. As a workaround, I will shut everything down and restart my computer and a few sets will be fine, but then it goes back to freezing. Any thought on why this happens and what I can do to remedy?
My problem turned out to be hardware-related. I was consistently having the described problem when I was exporting to a large but slow, Western Digital external hardrive. When I ran the data merge directly to the iMac drive it worked fine. Then I simply copied the files to the external. I know my solution is probably unique to me, but that's what solved it here. Hope you find a solution too. I was soooo frustrating.
