Where Is a Proper Place to Store Temporary Files?

Now, I have this situation: While the web application is running, I need a place to store an uploaded file temporarily and then write this file out.
Where is the proper place to create a directory to store a temporary file?
Is any place in the application OKay?

  • When group-working from SAN, where is the best place to store Cache Files, the Cache Database, and render files?

    I have a small post production house, and we are spinning up into editing our first series. We're all working from a SAN, and sharing projects and sequences via the Media Browser. It's working great so far, but we've been having issues (could be user error) with trying to figure out where best to store the Media Cache database, the cache files, and the preview files so when a project is moved from one machine to another, it doesn't constantly have to re-conform all of the media in the project.
    We have a very large master project, as this is a documentary style show, so there are hours and hours of clips.
    When I open a project on a new or different machine it has to conform EVERYTHING in the project again.
    Where should I store all these conform and cache files so that new people can get started working without having a machine literally be unusable until the conform process finishes?
    Thanks!

    Hi Jon,

    Glad it is working for you. Just to let you know, this workflow is not officially supported so your mileage may vary based on the kind of system you're working with. There are a lot of variations to the quality of these kinds of systems. Some are turn key, some home built - so I think you understand.

    While it's possible to have the cache files (and the database) in a central location (I only know of one place that pulls that off, and it's a very, very large place), the systems that have this data stored locally are far more reliable. You can work around all the reconfirming by avoiding moving the project data around. You really don't need to move the project around from place to place. Have one computer as the "hub" for inputting data from other workstations. Wouldn't that work?

    Can't you just have the master project on one machine and work on shorter sequences of your doc on the other machines? When done, just import to the master machine.

    Premiere Pro simply must have those cache files in order to work. Sorry, there's no way around this problem unless you change your workflow.
    Thanks,

  • Where's the best place to store email templates?

    Hi all;
    In a web app I store all my email templates in a files folder in the web app. Can't do that with a worker in a cloud service - no files. So where's the best place to store them? In a BLOB? And if so, is there a way to have files in my project get automatically
    written to BLOB entries when I publish?
    thanks - dave

    Hi,
    I think we could use azure blob to save files.
    >>is there a way to have files in my project get automatically written to BLOB entries when I publish?
    If you choose azure cloud service, you could write the upload code at role onstart method. If you choose Azure website, please consider use azure webjob to do this, refer to
    http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/websites-dotnet-webjobs-sdk-get-started/ for more details about webjob.

  • How do you CHANGE the location (away from Drive C) where Firefox stores temporary files?

    I know where Firefox stores temporary files. I want to CHANGE this location away from Drive C to decrease writes to an SSD. Thank you.

    Thank you.
    This function may be one of the few things that IE does better than Firefox. IE lets you change the temporary file location in Tools - Internet options - Settings. Firefox developers should make this task easier and put the instructions in the Help file where they can be easily found.
    Since I use an SSD for Drive C, I have learned that any file(s) that are frequently written to should be moved elsewhere to a conventional HDD.

  • Proper place to store backups? Bacula

    Hello I am maintaining the bacula package in aur.
    I was wondering were the proper place to store backups would be?
    The package defaults to /usr/var/bacula
    Should I leave them in the default, move it to /var/bacula (as their redhat example shows), move it to /var/cache/bacula, or some place else?
    What is the proper arch location?
    Thanks,
    pyther

    I do not think there are rules about that. /var/cache/bacula sounds sensible.

  • What is the best way to store temporary files on Azure?

    I am using the Google dot net api to import events from a google calendar.  In order to do the google authorization, it normally uses code like this: 
    private static readonly IAuthorizationCodeFlow flow =
    new GoogleAuthorizationCodeFlow(new GoogleAuthorizationCodeFlow.Initializer
    ClientSecrets = new ClientSecrets
    ClientId = "...........",
    ClientSecret = "............"
    Scopes = new[] { DriveService.Scope.Drive },
    DataStore = new FileDataStore("Calendar.Api.Auth.Store")
    However, the FileDataStore tries to save the auth data locally which doesn't work on Azure.  So, I created my own data store that uses blob storage on Azure.  However, it creates a new file in blob storage every time it is accessed, so I have a ton
    of these temporary files.  I can make a utility to go through and delete these every now and again, but is there a better way to do this?

    Hi,
    The best thing is that each blob has a property which indicate when the particular blob was last modified.
    This value can tell you how old this blob is. And using this value you can select older blobs and delete them.
    You will have to delete them one by one or you can run the code in loop to select all the blobs and delete them.
    For example you can choose to delete blobs which are older then a week or two weeks or a month. So you can choose what blob selection criteria you will use to select the blobs and then delete them.
    CloudBlobClient blobClient = connectionManager.GetBlobServiceClient(storageUri);
    // Next lets select then container which you are looking for your old blobs.
    CloudBlobContainer container = blobClient.GetContainerReference(this.WadBlobContainerName);
    // Now we will select blob query object which will give us the list of selected filtered blobs
    BlobRequestOptions blobQuery = new BlobRequestOptions();
    blobQuery.BlobListingDetails = BlobListingDetails.None;
    blobQuery.UseFlatBlobListing = true;
    // Now we will setup Blob access condition option which will filter all the blobs which are not modified for X (this.DaysToKeep) amount of days
    blobQuery.AccessCondition = AccessCondition.IfNotModifiedSince(DateTime.UtcNow.AddDays(-1 * this.DaysToKeep));
    // Lets Query to do its job
    IEnumerable<IListBlobItem> blobs = container.ListBlobs(blobQuery);
    foreach (IListBlobItem blob in blobs)
    CloudBlob cloudBlob = container.GetBlobReference(blob.Uri.ToString());
    cloudBlob.DeleteIfExists(blobQuery);

  • Where does the CS5 Automatic Update put temporary files?

    I am getting the same error that I see other people have had.  When I try to download and install CS5 updates using the automatic updater, I am told that the download failed and that I should try again later.  My guess is that one of the files was damaged in the download, and that it chokes each time it tries to open it.  I suspect that the "fix" is to delete all of the downloaded and temporary files and to start over, but I don't know where they are.  Anybody know?  Thanks.

    The file I downloaded was downloaded with the following filename cf10_mdt_updt.zip.  I then ran an extract all and saved the extracted files to a folder called cf10_mdt_updt.  I then copied the folder with the extracted files to the following folder c:\ColdFusion10\jre\bin.  I then ran Command Prompt as Administrator and got the error message shown below.

  • Don't want to store temporary files in downloads folder firefox

    When opening an attachment from a website, such as a pdf, a windows pops up letting you choose to open with "Preview Document" or "save to...." If I choose "preview document," the pdf will automatically saved to my Downloads folder, which I don't want. In Winxp, temporary files are store in a temporary folder, and will be replaced by new temporary files. How do I do that in mac? I want to temporary "preview" the pdf and don't want it to save a copy to the download folder, because I use the folder for the downloads I want to keep. I use firefox btw. Thanks.

    Hi there,
    How did you do this? As it is not possible to see the private folder through the preferences window when setting the downloads folder. I even used TinkerTool to make all hidden files & folders visible...
    Thanks!

  • Where is the best place to store media?

    I have been storing all of my video files in Apetuture since it is easy to just import everything in there when I insert my photos (either off of my iphone, or sd card.)  However I have to export the video files from Apetuture over to Final Cut Pro X in order to create my videos. I've been doing this since FCPX came out, and now have duplicated a lot of videos, and used up a lot of my HD space.
    I have alos liked keeping my videos in Apetuture so I could keep them in the same events as the photos that "go with" the video, not to mention it's nice to have all my media in one place, and I feel that Apetuture is a better media orginazer than fcpx.  However, I don't like having to always export videos, and than import them back in to FCPX.  So I'm curious what the best way to handle media is.  Should I store all my videos in FCPX? Keep them in Apetuture and continue doing what I'm doing? Or some other method?
    Thanks.

    what your are doing isn't a bad thing in my opinion. aperture is a great way to keep all your footage that was shot with a HDSLRs. It will double up your storage, so i propose haveing your aperture library on a seperate drive. import media into FCPX directly and use aperture as your back up. Backups is a great way to get you out of those tight situations where something becomes missing. im sure already knew thaty though. For me i only put my finals in aperture because I like how aperture stores my photos and videos in events, instead of finder. I import directly into FCPX and work with the footage one a seperate drive, ALWAYS. Its too much work on the harddrive running videos files, OS, and FCPX all at the same time.
    hope this helps

  • Where does ARD store temporary files / incomplete file transfer

    I have ARD 3.2 I was wondering where ARD stores file transfers that are incomplete or aborted. If ARD shows a file transfer as 50% complete, but then the transfer is aborted, where does ARD store the incomplete transferred file. Thanks

  • Where is the best place to store your media

    Hi there
    I am using a Mac book pro with an external monitor which I used FCE on, am I right in thinking that it is better to have all your media that you use in FCE connected to an external hard drive which then is connected to the laptop, is this the best way to get your media into your project at a fast speed?.
    The external hard drive is a lacie mini hub hd.
    at the moment I have all my projects opening from where I save them to..... in the movies on the hard disk. Could somebody please advise if this is the best way to proceed.
    Thanking you in advance.
    Denis

    Hi Denis.
    The ideal method, especially if you are producing videos of gargantuan proportions, is to have all your media on a dedicated external HD as the other posters have mentioned.
    However, there is absolutely no reason why you shouldn't continue using your internal HD if it works OK for you and you are not using vast amounts of video and other media.
    Of course if you find you are running out of space or having other problems caused by a cluttered HD, you definitely need to make use of an external. (FW400 is more than fast enough for anything you are likely to need).

  • Where is the best place to store photos?  In iPhoto or in the photo file?

    I just got a new macbook air and I am wondering is it better to store photos in Iphoto or in the photo folder ?

    Well, of course, the answer is subjective.  What's best for you depends on your personal setup and expectations.
    With all respect to PlotinusVeritas' response, yes, iPhoto "hijacks" your photos and incorporates them into an iPhoto Library, which is not very amenable to non-iPhoto users messing with the photos there.
    However, if you have other Apple devices such as iPhone, iPad, etc., you may wish to share photos with those devices.  This is easily accomplished by iPhoto.  There is also the concept of Photo Stream - keeping the photos in a cloud - which iPhoto does well.
    If you would like these features and need external photo editing programs as PlotinusVeritas' response suggests, you can always export photos out of iPhoto for use elsewhere.
    Again, it all depends on your anticipated use.

  • Where is the proper location to store brushes or brush presets?

    Illustrator has a user section. Photoshop CS5 will display your custom brushes in the preset manager.
    I use a Mac OSX 10.8. When I download brushes and install them in the User/Application Support/PS/Presets/Brushes they will appear in the preset manager without having to 'load' brushes each time. Yet, when you make a new preset and save the .abr file you can not save them to the proper location since Lion has the library folder hidden by default.
    For instance, when downloading brushes, it's easier to combind multiple sets into one presets. I don't want 20 different smoke abr files. Yet, I can't save them to Application Support.
    No one has a clear understanding of how this works (at least not on the internet.) The best thread (from Adobe forums) I found from 2011 stated I should do the above steps, but then a few other users reported thats out of fashion.
    Any help would be appreciated! Thanks so much!

    Hi,
    Here's some pointers on how to make the user library visible with 10.7 and 10.8:
