Hi,
I was wondering if its possible to change the users temp folder location
from /tmp to ~/tmp ?
When I was using mandriva I was used to having my tmp folder within my home
directory. This way when I download a file which happens to be a pdf and gets
opened by an other application like kpdf, the file gets stored in my ~/tmp
folder than the systems tmp folder.
This is advantages for the user to just go to their home/tmp folder to save
any files they download to an other location rather than navigating back to
the root of the file system to fetch the document from /tmp
I don't know what dis-advantages it would have by being in the users home
directory. On the other hand having it store the temp files under /tmp is a
privacy issue I would think.
You have the choice of specifying where all your downloads should go
when a download is initiated. I created a directory called Downloads in
my ~/home and everything I download goes there. Cannot see why you can't
do the same.
Cheers.
