  • system.temp_path doesn't return override directory

    From Nigel Reed@VERT to GitLab issue in main/sbbs on Sat Sep 23 01:24:37 2023

    According to the wiki

    ~~~
    TempDirectory
    Default: ctrl/../temp

    Override the default system "temp" directory (optional). If you do override this, do NOT use the system-wide temp dir (e.g.: /tmp or windows\temp),
    ~~~

    In sbbs.ini I have

    ~~~
    # grep TempDirectory /sbbs/ctrl/sbbs.ini
    TempDirectory = /sbbs/tmp/
    ~~~

    However:

    ~~~
    Time Used: 0:14:26 -> Main Menu -> ;
    eval system.temp_path
    Result (string): /tmp/
    ~~~

    I feel this should return /sbbs/tmp since that is where I want sbbs to write temporary files. There seems no other way to access this TempDirectory assigned path.

    This is intentional. Use `system.temp_dir` instead.
