Hi sage-devel, Long time ago temporary file names in Sage were created with increasing lexicographic order in the same temporary folder:
tmp_00.png, tmp_01.png tmp_02.png ... and so on This was practical for users looking at pictures in a viewer where the left arrow and right arrow was changing picture to the previous or next file (lexicographically) in the same folder. Now (since at least one year, but I don't know which version exactly), tmp files are created with some hashed value in the end and the left and right arrow do not correspond to the order of creation of the files anymore. Two friends of mine keep asking me this question and I now ask this on sage-devel. Was this change intended? Is it OK if we change it back to an lexicographic order for files?
