Comment #5 on issue 9023 by [email protected]: Enable downloads to a temporary location (view vs. save) http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=9023
Nick: The fundamental problem is that Windows doesn't have a /tmp folder that gets cleaned up periodically by the system. If we put things in the Windows temp folder, then eventually we'll clog the users disk, and bad times will ensue. So, we can't leave it up to the system it seems. If we have to manage this ourselves, then we end up fighting with the user since they might not expect their files to magically disappear after a week or whatever timeout we pick. I wonder what IE does... -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
