I have just installed PixInsight on my desk top and am wondering what to make of a notification/message that it has given me.
Since I am not overly proficient or computer savvy, I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what action(s) I should take in response to
this message. I would appreciate any advice. Thank you.
The message/notification is this:
“A system temporary folder is being used for storage of image swap files.
Be aware that files stored on system temporary folders may be deleted automatically by the operating system and/or file management utilities, depending on specific platforms and system configurations.
If you use one of these folders to store image swap files created by PixInsight, you may have problems if some swap files are removed while the associated images or projects are still being used in a running instance of the PixInsight core application.
You can define swap file directories with the Preferences process, Directories and Network section.”
