#4 PDFBooklet for multiple users on the same linux machine

[Anonymous]

On a linux machine with multiple users they can't use pdfbooklet each for himself. The program writes data to /var/tmp/pdfbooklet which is restricted to the first user, so others are not able to start pdfbooklet without deleting first this directory (as superuser).

Please change permissions in program so that all users on the same machine are able to start and use pdfbooklet

I am not a linux guy, I use it just from time to time. I can change permissions but can you tell me more precisely what should be done. Or would it be preferable to write to the /home directory ?

I think files created temporarily should be created using Python's tempfile module. This should work cross-platform.

@Averell, can you point out which parts of the source code deal with (writing to) temporary files? So we could review this together.

Hello Peter, I see you are interested in the program, and I would be interested to collaborate because my time is so short now.
Can you write to dy1977@orange.fr, it would be easier. Thanks.
