2011-10-29 19:18:31 Bob Bib summary File Roller temp directory is not optimal File Roller temp directories are not optimal
2011-10-29 19:18:31 Bob Bib description File Roller (including the latest version, 3.2.1) uses the ~/.cache directory for its temporary files directories, e. g.: ~/.cache/a12bc3 It creates these temporary folders with files when a user looks through the archive and double-clicks on any file inside to view it. If File Roller exits unexpectedly, these temp files can only be removed manually. As it can be learned from bug #245716, some times ago File Roller was even more ugly and created its temp directories directly in user home directory. It would be much more effective to use /tmp directory for ALL temporary files and folders for two reasons: 1) /tmp directory gets cleaned on every reboot; 2) some people use tmpfs for /tmp directory, so it can be much faster.
