Hi,
I am try to find out what the right place is to save a temporary file
on the Mac is. I have looked at the following places:
/tmp
~/Library/Caches/<app name>
Are there other locations and are there any suggested usage policies?
To elaborate: what I am looking at is a file to be downloaded by a web
browser, in order to directly be opened up by another application. In
order for the other application to have access to it I will have to
save it somewhere, though I am not sure where I should be saving it
and what sort of life-span this file should have on the user's hard-
disk.
