Add option 'save WaterML files' to search download settings #148
jirikadlec2[CodePlex] It seems that HydroDesktop is saving all the GetValues WaterML files to the C:\users\user name\appdata\local\temp\HydroDesktop folder. This uses large hard drive space on the user's computer. For example I found that the folder size with the WaterML files
was 2 Gigabytes after I downloaded all data from the 'Little Bear River experimental watershed' web service.
Improvement suggestion:
Add a 'save WaterML files' checkbox to the search download settings. If the checkbox is unchecked then don't save the downloaded WaterML files to the temporary folder.
Show the name of the folder where the WaterML files are saved (usually it's C:\users\user name\appdata\local\temp\HydroDesktop)
