file-roller should use $XDG_CACHE_HOME or have an option to select a different directory for caching.
When users' home directories are on a remote machine and mounted via NFS, then file-rollers' habit of creating ~/.fr-* directories, extracting there and moving back the result creates huge i/o-loads. If $XDG_CACHE_HOME would be used, one could direct ~/.cache to some local directory (which we already did). If that's not possible maybe there is a possibility to define a different extracting directory, e.g. by start variable or in the menu. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to file-roller in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/762306 Title: Doesn't follow XDG_CACHE_HOME Status in file-roller package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: file-roller I haven't figured out where does it extract "normal" files, but when I open a big file ~700Mb it uses $HOME instead of $XDG_CACHE_HOME.
