    Thumbnail and File Property Extraction

    Offline Sean Keene over 14 years ago

    Can I change the directory where the Thumbnail and File Property Extraction copies documents for processing?

    I have a server that is on VM Ware with a small C: drive allocation and I had to reprocess some projects which filled up the C: drive and caused just a small problem (no one could login).  Instead of allocating more C: drive space I would like to tell ProjectWise to use a different location to store the docs for Thumbnail and File Property.

    I am assuming that this is possible and also that ProjectWise makes a temporary copy of the document for process and then deletes the copy after process is complete.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    TIA

      Hello Sean,

       

      Starting with build 8.9.3.49 it possible to specifically set where Automated File Processors will put the temp files. You do that by adding a string value ExtractionTempDir under the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Bentley\ProjectWise\Automated File Processing  and specify a valid path as a value, say: d:\afp-temp

      Stephen,
