181443 - "tempIcal.ics" file should be created in %TEMP directory

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Calendar :: General, defect)

Description

[Henrik Gemal]

Current the temporary file "tempIcal.ics" is being created in the profile dir,
which is not very nice. It should be created in the %TEMP directory.

I hate having the profile cluttered with non important files.

The "tempIcal.ics" is created here:
http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/calendar/resources/content/calendarMail.js#279

Perhaps you can reuse the code that puts "plugtmp" in the same dir:
http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/modules/plugin/base/src/nsPluginHostImpl.cpp#2007

Something like:
rv = NS_GetSpecialDirectory(NS_OS_TEMP_DIR, getter_AddRefs(pluginTmp));

As far as I can tell, you can't get the OSs temp directory from JS.
I have moved the file under the Calendar/ directory in the profile, so it
doesn't clutter up the root profile directory.

it only seems possible to get the %TEMP dir from .cpp:
NS_GetSpecialDirectory(NS_OS_TEMP_DIR

The bugspam monkeys have been set free and are feeding on Calendar :: General. Be afraid for your sanity!
