• Default Temp paths

    From roovis@21:4/165 to g00r00 on Wed Mar 11 09:14:59 2020
    I was thinking more about the TEMP path cleanup that was proposed.

    Why not just make it a path assignment like data, themes, etc -- and default
    it to Mystic's home directory for those who do not want to re-write their
    door scripts?

    And for new installs, make it /mystic/temp?

    That way you can provide a gentle migration for those who don't want to
    change yet ... and still provide the directory cleanup for those who want it.

    The restructure looks like this:

    <temp>\1\
    <temp>\mutil\
    <temp>\2\

    So its not quite compatible with the existing:

    \temp1\
    \temp2\
    \temputil\

    I suppose I could change that restructure to be like this:

    \temp\temp1
    \temp\temp2
    \temp\temputil

    And then something like that could work, but that sort of bothers me having those "double" temp directories

    What about \temp\node1 ?

    I'll still probably symlink to \temp1 regardless (so as not to break my doorgames hehe).

    For now I am just going to not change it. :)

    But symlinks would be a great way for me to be able to change it without breaking people's setup. But it requires everyone then to create the links
    (or maybe the upgrade could do it).
