Hi, first of all, I am the main developer of LiVES. Please cc the address salsaman+li...@gmail.com to all future bugs related to LiVES. You are also welcome to report bugs on the mailing list or via the issue tracker ( https://sourceforge.net/p/lives/bugs/).
I will look into the issues that you mention, they should certainly be considered bugs. The idea with making the working directory world writeable was to allow collaborative editing, but I agree that this would be better done via umask. Regarding the second point (creating ~/livestmp even when the user selects an alternate) that is certainly a bug if it leaves an empty directory around. It may be that LiVES needs to create it to write some temporary files during initialisation, but it ought to delete it afterwards at least, if it wasn' t there prior to the install. Thanks for your feedback. Gabriel. http://lives-video.com https://www.openhub.net/accounts/salsaman
