Purge All shortcut in CS5 using a MacBook Pro/laptop keyboard with no numeric keypad?

[Todd Kopriva]

Are you really purging all of your caches so often that you need to use a keyboard shortcut for it? If so, that is a sign of a rather serious problem.

Indeed I am. No serious problem, but I work on the road a lot, so I’m stuck with my maxed out 8GB of ram in my MacBook Pro. I do frequent RAM previews which eat up a ton of memory, so I purge after every few previews. Make sense?

[Todd Kopriva]

It sounds like what you want to purge is just the image caches, not use the broader “All” command. You are throwing away the baby with the bathwater.

That could work too – is there a shortcut for that on a non-numeric keypad laptop keyboard?

[Todd Kopriva]

Nope. No shortcut for that at all.

If you want a shortcut for that, please make a feature request:

Thanks for confirming. I made the feature request. I should probably ask Jeff Almasol to add it to the KeyedUp script as well.
