I'd like to add a 'me too' to the list who would like an on demand tmp directory especially if it is implemented with a RAILS_TMP style constant. This would make a very nice and easy way to tweak configurations on a machine such that any consideration a site may need for the tmp directory could be handled with little to no code changes. -- Steven Critchfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Rails-core mailing list Rails-core@lists.rubyonrails.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails-core
