[Qgis-user] temporary files folder for processing

[Jesus Munoz Serrano]

Hi there, 

I don't know where does QGIS store my processing output layers anymore. They were being stored in my application folder at the start (I am using mac OS X 10.8) which was a bit inconvenient so I decided to change it. I created a new path in processing > options and configuration > general > output folder. 

The problem is that the output path shown now is different to the one I created. If I click the browser button, the window for selecting the directory will show the right path but in the processing options windows > general the path shown is different. It is as follows:

	/var/folders/k8/1gjgs_cn6rv4blrm7s5pjyr80000gn/T/processing

I played around a little bit with some algorithms to check if my changes were working and the layers created are indeed lost. Opening the layer properties dialog, the source of the layer is:

	/var/folders/k8/1gjgs_cn6rv4blrm7s5pjyr80000gn/T/processing/c00e7a3e4ec64b1fa37d5f47b6d8b5b7/CLIPS.shp

so it is in fact stored where the processing options dialog tells me, but it is the wrong place. Also, I tried to locate this folder in my computer and it was impossible to find.

Is this a bug? Does anybody know how to solve it?

Thanks,
Jesus
