Sorry for breaking the thread. Gmane doesn't appear to display these
replies from one mailing list to another.
Anyway, the point I'd like to make is: rather than use Georg's
hardcoded "/tmp" fix, why not save the content returned by Package.C's
get_temp_dir() function in an immutible store that can be compared to
the value of Package::temp_dir() which starts out with get_temp_dir()'s
returned value but can subsequently be overwritten by user preference.
Ie, something like:
class Package {
string const system_temp_dir = get_temp_dir();
string temp_dir = system_temp_dir;
}
// Read LyXRC. Update the value of Package::temp_dir
// to user preference if so desired.
...
// Come to clean up prior to exiting LyX.
if (Package::system_temp_dir != Package::temp_dir)
// User-specified temp dir. Delete it.
Capice?
Angus
