TMPDIR issues
Locked

Hi,
Quick question.. Is there a setting or a simple way to use an alternative TMPDIR with digikam? Where my /tmp is normaly more than adequate, for some (stitching panorama's) it's simply to small. As I have partitions with more than enough space I'm hoping I overlooked a photoshop or GIMP option to set an TMP and/or swap path from within digikam. (and if there's no such thing, may I suggest it as a feature for a future version?) Thanks, Gerhard -- My blog: http://www.funsite.eu/ _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

No. There is not yet a way to switch tmp to a dedicated place.
I build too some very large pano. I allocated 20Gb in a SSD to /tmp Gilles Caulier 2015-01-22 21:43 GMT+01:00 Gerhard Hoogterp <[hidden email]>: > Hi, > > Quick question..

On an old and fully used machine like mine I'm afraid that Gilles's solution is the only solution. Create a tmp dir somewhere where there's space and softlink it to /tmp.. I do hope one day for a setting for this, maybe I better check the bugtracker if there are points to give for such a feature..;-) Thanks, Gerhard _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

Better make a soft link. > Thanks, > Gerhard > _______________________________________________ > Digikam-users mailing list > [hidden email] > https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

Instead just use a bind mount from another partition which has free space + decent speed eg, i have an SSD setup on /home so I could do mkdir /home/tmp mount --bind /home/tmp /tmp Now I don't have to make any decision about how much space of the SSD to set aside for /tmp. Also means you don't have pain of resizing partitions for an existing installed machine.

Is /tmp hard-coded somewhere? If so, where exactly? Full disclosure: If yes, I will likely need to patch fedora builds to use something else (probably /var/tmp), since fedora's default /tmp is tmpfs, which is unsuitable for anything non-trivial in size. -- Rex _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

No. We use KDE APi to manage temporary files which wrap tmp location
to /tmp under Linux. Gilles Caulier 2015-01-25 1:09 GMT+01:00 Rex Dieter <[hidden email]>: > Gerhard Hoogterp wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> Quick question..

But still, having a gigantic tmp partition for the occasional panorame of video doesn't seems to be the way imho. Having a setting in "tmpdir hungry" apps like gimp and photoshop have seems a nicer solution. Nevertheless, i'm good for now..
