So you will replace a file that was placed there by another application?
Bad idea! Very Bad!

My ยค0.02 on this: I usually recommend that you include your app's name in the temporary file's name.


For instance, I use a file named "smiletmp" - only Smile can make such a file so very probably no other app will interfere.
