Why aren't they deleted when the run command has completed?" Somehow, the new behavior is more expensive, creating two folders on each run. If I run again, the files in the build dir are updated. class file, and the stdout.txt file gets the content of the console. If I run a sketch doing println() calls, the build dir gets the. These names evolved with the various versions of Processing. I believe they are all in the same temp dir, but under various sub-folders, as seen. I just launched the PDE, and a C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Temp\untitled6026933387291279912sketches\sketch_aug26a\sketch_aug26a.pde empty file has been created (and the jna file too).Īre there other such repositories on my disk drive for Processing?" I see also lot of files like jna48236792357945758.dll (specific to Windows, obviously). Unnamed sketches are named like sketch_aug05a1569952412256353503temp for example. On my computer (Win7), the files go to C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Temp It does that on the fly, when you hit the Run button, so it looks like being interpreted code. java files that can be consumed by this compiler. So it has to process the sketches to make. Processing is based on Java, and uses the Java compiler. Just what purpose do these directories and files serve?" ![]() Just what purpose do these directories and files serve? Are there other such repositories on my disk drive for Processing? Why aren't they deleted when the run command has completed? Which makes them easier to identify and find so you don't have them intermingled with files/directories from other applications.īy the way, I have cleaned out several gigabytes of these so space can be an issue as well. In appdata\local\temp, the files are not in a directory that is easily identifiable with Processing. The Processing IDE should provide some options for managing this fileset, including the ability to specify where to place the files (current location is seemingly a poor choice), an age limit (days to keep before deletion), and grouping (high level directory structure by sketch name), separating the random number from the sketch name (graphisc1a_nnn), and using the standard suffix of 'tmp' so system provided functions can find them than handle deletion. While the contents of this folder is simply: Space is not the issue but the burden on the file system and the amount of time it adds to the work of compiling a program. I have been using Processing for 3 months now and have thousands of these files. I read the other discussion about the Processing temporary files, but have some separate observations and questions.
