Hi,
I tried
$ ppmrainbow -width 200 -height 20 -color blue -tmpdir=/tmp -verbose
|xloadimage stdin
Unknown option: color
+ pgmramp -lr 200 20
+ pgmtoppm blue-blue
+ pnmcat -lr /tmp/000.ppm
stdin is a 200x20 Raw PPM image with 256 levels
Building XImage...done
and I see that there is a file
/tmp/000.ppm
(which does not look good since it should be rather a tempfile)
but this command does not end. I had to press <Ctrl>C to end the
command and can confirm that /tmp/000.ppm remains when using
netpbm version 10.0-15.4.
When using netpbm from exprimental I get:
$ ppmrainbow -width 200 -height 20 -color blue -tmpdir=/tmp -verbose
|xloadimage stdin
Unknown option: color
+ pgmramp -lr 200 20
+ pgmtoppm blue-blue
+ pnmcat -lr /tmp/ppmrainbowCEUx/file.000.ppm
stdin is a 200x20 Raw PPM image with 256 levels
Building XImage...done
which looks way better due to the usage of tempfile. This directory
is removed afterwards so I think this bug can be closed with the next
upload.
Kind regards
Andreas.
