would love for there to be an option to set scratch disks in the new project dialog

[Michael Grenadier]

The way I work is that I have a media drive connected to my macstudio.  Each job (theoretically) has it's own media drive which my client pays for...  All my media, previews, autosaves, proxies etc.  live on this external drive.   I often visit a client with my external drive and work with them on their system (love how easy it is to temporarily authorize my license on my clients computer to work at their office).  Now, unless I missing something, after I create a new project I have to go to project settings to set the various scratch disks...  Not a big deal, but would make my life easier if I could set this in the new project window...  Every once in a while, I forget to set the scratch disks, so the folders are created in the folder where all my premiere projects live (in a folder on my startup drive that's automatically mirrored on dropbox).    If I'm not paying attention these files can jam up my startup drive (not a pretty picture)...  

And would also be nice if I could point to a folder on my media drive and all the scratch disks would be set to the folder.  Again, not a big deal, just have to click down resetting each of the scratch disks.  

Not sure anyone else works this way...  so speak up if you do and if you like this idea.    

Thanks as always to the adobe team.  You're doing a great job.

My setup is similar, in that I like to keep everything associated with a project together on an external drive assigned to each client. The scratch disk settings usually stay the same, but occassionally things end up in incovenient places. For instance. the other day an Audio Previews folder appeared in my Production folder. Some way of being reminded to check the settings would be helpful and while creating the project is the perfect time to be reminded!

Not too long ago, there was a Scratch Disk tab in the new project dialog box.  Actually... it may be about a decade ago now, so maybe it was a long time ago. 

I would not mind seeing that return. 

In the meantime, creating a project template with the Scratch Disk settings set to "Same as Project" should take care of making sure everything for a given project is in the same folder.

Warren, I don't want my project to live on my media drive...  I want it to live with all my other projects on my startup drive in a folder that automatically mirrors on dropbox.    Because I subscribe to dropbox, I have another layer of security is I can access different versions within that last month...    I'm a belt and suspenders kind of guy.

Got it.  Then yeah, unless the option is added back to the new project dialog box it is the extra step of visiting the Scratch Disk settings for each project.

and not a big deal when I forget to reset the scratch disks...  just kind of a pain.

I voted for this.  The more that I think about it, the more I'd like to have this back as an option when starting a new project.
