"completing pending document save operations"

I'm working with some fairly large psb files and when ever I try to save out a jpeg or convert a layer to a smart object I get a scroll bar with the following message:

"completing pending document save operations"

This can take between 15 and 30 mins to complete before the jpeg or smart object is saved. Does anyone know why I get this message and what is Photoshop actually doing? Is there any way of stopping doing this or speeding it up?

Hellohooo Adobe! Anybody out there?

Unfortunately the issue doesn't disappear by ignoring this posting for over a year. I have myself massive problems with this issue and I am a quite frustrated. This frustration has grown significantly by reading through this thread...

This is primarily a user Forum, so you are not really addressing Adobe here, even though some Adobe employees thankfully have been dropping by.

Edit:

Please read this (in particular the section titled "Supply pertinent information for more timely and effective answers”):

OKAY - thanks a lot. Since we're on the adobe.com domain and the page title says "Adobe Support Forum" I have assumed that Adobe cares about the content/questions/issues.

Thanks for the link. I'll give it a read.

How long does saving the containing document itself take?

I'm also experiencing the same error message every time I convert a layer to a smart object. It take like you , several minutes. I haven't timed it precisely, but it easily 5 minutes or more. And please don't anybody suggest that PS is running shot of memory. The PC has 128 GB installed and finctioning fine in every other app, including CP1 and Davinci Resolve. It laso has 50 of that memory dedicated to PS. that right. 64 GB reserved just for PS.

Has anyone found a solution for this error?

I suspect you are saving the containing psb – while that save has not been completed the saving of a Smart Object (edit: or a jpg-copy) naturally could not succeed.

Can you post meaningful screenshots?
