Set temp working directory to title #36

Closed EricArcher closed 8 years ago

EricArcher commented 8 years ago

The temporary working directory seems to default to "wdTest". Would it be better to set it to the Title (change it when Title is changed), but let a user modify it if they choose?

I think that should be possible. Will take a look Wed am.

Does the user need to add the path or will it either make a new folder called "wdTest" or a folder named whatever Title the user puts in or is this the Rdata file? That temporary working directory confuses me.

The user just needs to specify the folder in which a simulation's inputs and outputs will reside. When the simulations run, the wdTest folder gets created to hold temporary files. Unless there's a problem with the simulations, you can usually ignore its contents. The 'simulations' vignette also has some copy describing this setup
