[FileSystem] portable Temp, Desktop & Applications directories?
 
            Is there any existing facility to get in particular the path to the user's temp directory in FileSystem? I couldn't find one in boost_1_35_0, but I've might have missed it. Any plans for this functionality? On Win and Mac there's getenv TEMP/TmpDir, or is there a better way. Thanks, Jeff

No, nothing yet.

There have been several requests related to temporary files and directories, but nothing has gelled.

That's a good bet for now. --Beman

Thanks, Beman. I'll use getenv for now. Jeff

On Windows, GetTempPath may be a better choice. Ganesh
