I feel that a better place for the default folder is the

web browser, my files will be removed at the same time.
Trouble is, I've no idea of a global path I could use which would work on
all supported browsers/OS's - is there one?
Forgot to answer this. The Rev function specialFolderPath("temporary")
will return what you want in both standalones and Revlets. On OS X it is:
/Users/<user>/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems
On Windows XP:
C:/Documents and Settings/<user>/Local Settings/Temp
Or if you want a file name rather than a folder, use the tempName()
function. It returns a path and a guaranteed unique file name for a
temporary file. The actual file name will vary depending on the OS, the
files already in the temp folder, and some other things, but it will
always point to the OS-approved location with a unique name tacked on.
On my machine, in OS X, I get:
/private/var/folders/lK/lKqfANrEKa6m7q-jKrtU++TI/TemporaryItems/tmp0
And on WinXP:
C:/Documents and Settings/<user>/Local Settings/Temp/tmp2
