That is true, however, /tmp is accessable by any user. Web pages can be of a confidential nature, and the temp files should not be visible to other users, even if not readable.

~/Library/Application Support/YourApp/PreviewCache would not be readable by other users, and is an excellent location for the temporary files generated by such an application.

I personally applaud the decision to put it in that location, rather than some bolated folder in either ~/Library or ~/Library/Preferences, as so many other developers have done.

You might want to put them in a directory like... ~/Library/Application Support/YourApp/PreviewTemp/ or something... thats what I'm doing for my HTML editor.


Temporary files (UNIX-)traditionally go to /tmp. It's guaranteed to exist and to be world writable. And, it's automatically cleaned up after some time in case your app dies without doing so.

In Networked environments, it's usually on a local disk in opposite to $HOME/.
