I could do that. I may consider adding it to the next release if you think it would be really useful.

I would most certainly use it, and it seems the easiest and most direct way to allow users to control the placement of internal files. Also, providing the %TEMP% path as an internal variable (like DefaultDir$) would make user control even easier and more convenient.

Thanks for considering the suggestion. I think it would prove a great addition to the LibertyBASIC Booster.

OK, I'll add the option. You'll need to put the source file in %TEMP% first, but then you'd want to anyway for testing in the IDE.

I don't think I'll provide a predefined variable which points to %TEMP% for the simple reason that it would prevent you testing and debugging the program in LB. It's not difficult to do using CALLDLL:

Code:

    TempPath$ = space$(_MAX_PATH)
    calldll #kernel32, "GetTempPathA", _
      _MAX_PATH as long, TempPath$ as ptr, _
      ret as long
    TempPath$ = trim$(TempPath$)

Edit: Anyway if you don't mind it being LBB-specific you can always use this hack:

Code:

    !TempPath$ = @tmp$
