Creating temporary files in current dir is mistake

[Hubbitus]

Hello.

In SELinux restricted environment it is big problem because we can't properly mark such files.
Could you please see on https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=825874

May be it will be possible make such directory widely configurable? Say by some env variable?

I seem to recall that TMPDIR and MAGICK_TMPDIR can be used for this.

[edit] MAGICK_TMPDIR works fine on my Ubuntu 12-04 platform:

• glenn.rp> mkdir $HOME/TEMP
  glenn.rp> TMPDIR=$HOME/TEMP make check

resulted in lots of magick-* files in my TEMP directory while
validate-formats-in-memory was running.

Sorry do you means that imagemagick create temp dir on ./ or in /tmp ?

Thanks

By default, ImageMagick puts temporary files in a folder defined by P_tmpdir. This can be overridden by the the environment variables MAGICK_TEMPORARY_PATH, MAGICK_TMPDIR, or TMPDIR. It can also be overridden by the temporary-path policy define in policy.xml. However, if the path is not a directory or if its not readable, the temporary files are put in the current path.
