#369 working dir "system temp" for 7z is blank on linux
Steps to reproduce :
Peazip 5.3 and 5.6.0 64bits on linux mint 17 64bits
1. Set working dir to "system temp" in settings
2. select files/directories, then "Add..."
I got
'/usr/local/share/PeaZip/res/7z/7z' a -t7z -m0=LZMA -mmt=on -mx7 -md=32m -mfb=64 -ms=4g -w '/home/test/Public.7z' '/home/test/Public'
The "-w" option should be "-w/tmp/" (something like that).
Is "system temp" only valid on Windows ?
Best regards.
Thank you for reporting. In the past I had issue in having the option work consistently on my Linux test machines pool, definitely the issue needs to be re-tested thoroughly.
Is it fixed by now?
Working directory option was updated in recent versions.
"System temp" is queried by p7zip backend on Linux, asking the operating system the proper temporary path.
If for some reason a different path is desired (e.g. a ramdisk to be sure everything is deleted on power off) the new option "Custom" allows to specify a fixed temporary path.
