Freeing memory / Browser Caches / Autosave
Submitted by Jemima

Freeing memory

Lower the "undo" storage for files
File>Preferences>General Program Preferences, hit the Undo tab
and set the undo storage to 15 MB.

If you are working with large graphics and use the undo frequently you may need to set it to 40MB.

*************************

Browser Caches

PSP creates a browser cache when using the browse function in PSP. This enables faster loading of graphics. However if graphics are moved around, stored elsewhere or deleted the browser cache remains the same size and can get very large taking up valuable space.

It is advisable to delete them frequently to allow a build of a fresh cache in your files.

To do this go to Find files and type in "jbf" without the quotation marks.
You will see all the pspbrwse icons appear.
Select them all and press delete on your keyboard.
The next time you browse in PSP new caches will be built.

*************************

Autosave

When PSP crashes or freezes for some reason and you haven't saved your work, you can lose everything.
Go to File > Preferences > Autosave settings.
This will open the Autosave Settings dialogue box,
Tick the 'Enable Autosave' box.
Set the time schedule you require, 5 minutes should be sufficient. Click OK.
Autosave is now enabled and your work will automatically be saved to the temp file every 5 minutes.
If PSP crashes you can re-open and your work will be loaded as before.
