[Gambas-user] External library location

[Gianluigi]

I would like to clarify my thinking in this absurd "querelle" about the tmp
folder.
We are (+/-) programmers and we do a lot of testing.
If the folders created by our tests all end up in the home folder, maybe
hidden, after a while the folder would be a delirium.
I think it's a good suggestion to send our tests to a folder that really
exists in all filesystems and where the code can be tested (by everyone,
except those who have an administrator who has read the Debian manual :-) )
and that after while is cleaned up, I would recommend everyone to adopt
this system.
I don't think anyone can use this folder instead of User.Home &/ "." &
Application.Name.
I also add this, when, for help, we send our code to other programmers, if
the code provides for the creation of a folder, it is good education to
create it in tmp.

Regards
Gianluigi
