Temporary file in the same directory?

[nomeata]

Hi,

I just noticed that during an upload, the temporary file is in /tmp. As it is not unlikely that the user runs sws on a different partition than /tmp, this seems suboptimal: There might not be enough space in /tmp (I am using sws right now to transfer some videos), and after the upload, moving from /tmp to the final destination involves actual copying, which is wasteful and can actually fail.

Most file transfer tools (webbrowsers, rsync etc.) put the temporary file in the destination directory.

Cheers,
Joachim

It looks like this wouldn't be difficult to change. Having run into tmpfs running out of space issues when using Android's sdkmanager to download Android system images, I can appreciate the frustration this can cause. I should have an update within a few days. Thanks for pointing this out.

I finally got around pushing to Hackage.
