Bug ID: 520382
Summary: Feature Request: Please add a setting in which user
can change the temporary directory being used
Classification: Applications
Product: ark
Version First 26.04.1
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general

Target Milestone: ---
This is not a bug. It is a new feature request.
DESCRIPTION
The temporary directory that Ark uses is not configurable. It is not clear
whether ark uses the /tmp directory or the /run/user directory or the
$HOME/.cache directory or some other directory for temporary or cache files.
Also this setting is not configurable nor can be modified by the user. It would
be good to have a configuration item in General or Extraction which points to
this directory and allows the user to select a different directory.
Many other archive tools have this functionality, like for example 7zip.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch Ark
2. Go to Settings > General or Settings > Extraction
3. Try to locate the settings for temporary directory to be used
OBSERVED RESULT
There is no setting for temporary directory anywhere.
EXPECTED RESULT
There ought to be a setting where the user can specify which temporary
directory to be used. Either the /tmp directory or /run/user directory or
$HOME/.cache or some other directory as per the user requirement.

Operating System (available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a
terminal window): linux
