Hi John,
The temppath and usetmp options are only used for generating large SPD files as
the whole file can't be loaded into memory for indexing. Where a format doesn't
support indexing these options are not available or if the file is small enough
to fit into memory then it is faster not to provide them.
I am working on documenting SPDLib in more detail and there are more details
about the options on spdtranslate available here (starting page 15)
https://bitbucket.org/petebunting/spdlib-documentation/downloads
Thanks for the comments about the error message and I have updated it and
pushed to bitbucket.
Best wishes,
Pete
