    MVM_*.tmp files locking portable drive(s) when editing gifs

    lister_uk Community Member

      I have a bunch of random files named *MVM_*.tmp randomly split between my second internal drive and a portable drive (or more if another external drive is connected) when editing or opening a .GIF file in PS CS5.

       

      These files make it impossible to remove the portable drive without first saving my work and closing PS (once I had to reboot in order to remove the drive). Also, often as not, some of the files remain on the portable drive.

       

      No 3rd party plugins, just vanilla PS. I saw another thread but that was about PNG files (this happens too), not GIFs.

       

      Also happens when Liquify tool is used. Really bugging me.
