I'm on Geany 1.33 on Debian Buster and I was looking for a way to save these 
files in `/var/tmp` so that they are preserved between reboots or system 
crashes. Defining `TMPDIR` really works, but setting it to anything other than 
'/tmp' for all applications is generally undesirable. The user would normally 
want to configure it only for Geany. This requires modifying the files that are 
managed by the system's package manager (the desktop shortcut or the 
executable, which must be replaced by a script that defines the variable and 
then calls the executable), which makes updating Geany and the entire system 
complicated and prone to errors. I would like to ask for these options in the 
Instant Save plug-in configuration panel: 

- Default system temporary directory
- Custom directory: `[input field]`
