There is no logic to check input size, so QGIS will try to keep it in memory. It is user responsibility to decide if using temporary output makes sense with his data. > In my opinion, the term "Create temporary layer", from a user perspective, > doesn't necessarily mean "Create Memory layer". A temporary layer could also > be stored in disk. I think this wording is historical thing. Previously Processing was using real temporary files to store intermediate and final outputs. When developing QGIS 3.0 we have switched to memory layers but have not adjusted this placeholder text. -- Alexander Bruy _______________________________________________ QGIS-Developer mailing list QGIS-Developer@lists.osgeo.org List info: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer Unsubscribe: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
