Only a very small number of people who experience this have cooperated with SM to identify common factors. SM have not figured it out, because it has to be figured out entirely by asking you questions.<<

They must not be trying very hard because they basically blew me of. Smith Micro that is.

They essentially blamed it on CCleaner saying it caused the problem. Then they said that all programs do this. I said, maybe, but not 18,000 files in one 30 minute session... files that have absolutely no content except an open and close XML snippet.

I can send the thread along if anyone wishes.

I then requested they reactivate my Poser 7 which they kindly did (I give them credit for being nice) and I forgot how much I prefer that old interface.

I'll be sad to see the indirect lighting gone but a) blaming the temp files on my computer was not wise and b) I refuse to kill my HD with 10,000+ new files created and deleted every time I start Poser.

I don't care that they are deleted. I don't want them created in the first place.

And why blame CCleaner when it seems it's a Mac issue as well?

They obviously have no clue what it is but to me it's quite obviously related to the library being indexed and read and this crap left behind. And when SM mentioned "Flash" is not supposed to do this I nearly choked. FLASH? They've sunken so low they're writing parts of this in Flash??? Jesus. That explains it.

One other thing. If I had to guess, I'd guess this phenomena is happening on more than just a few poser machines. Why? Because these files are basically hidden even with view system and OS files turned on. Only certain file cleaners spot them.

They also get flushed on a reboot. Which is nice. ... and it means people won't even know they had been created and are now gone (and will be created again once they start P8)...

But again... they shouldn't even be written in the first place. It's killing the MFT. It's fragmenting drives. It's totally useless garbage. I caught it only by accident because i happened to have P8 running AND CCleaner at the same time.
