It occurred to me that quite a few bundles (okay, at least one) make use of /tmp.
I've been using /tmp/<uid>/ as several other applications under OS X seem to use this directory, though I just realized it doesn't always exist so I'm not sure which app creates it in the first place. I note some applications also use /tmp/$USER/... Of course, there's always just using /tmp directly.
Anyway, I'm wondering if it might be useful for:
a) All TextMate bundles to use a standard per-bundle temporary location. b) For TextMate to create the top of this location at start and clean it up at quit.
For example, TextMate might set TM_TMPDIR to /tmp/textmate-$USER/ <bundle_name> for each bundle, and create /tmp/textmate-$USER at startup and remove (recursively) /tmp/textmate-$USER at quit.
Mostly thinking out loud.
Useful or not worth the trouble?
