Plugin saves a ~/D:\multibuffer

[pcav]

This seems inappropriate, particularly for non-Windows systems

[havatv]

Thank you for reporting. May be I don't understand the question, but saving of temporary files is done to a temporary directory found using Python't tempfile module, and I thought that this should be portable. I don't have any problems on Windows or Ubuntu. I don't have access to MacOS.

The appropriate dir would be /temp. In your case, it goes to ~/D:\multibuffer

[havatv]

On which platform are you? Which dataset is it that goes to ~/D:\multibuffer?

[pcav]

Debian sid Dir empty, apparently is created at plugin import

[havatv]

OK. I will inspect the code to see what the reason for this can be. Thanks again for reporting.

I am not able to find any trace of "multibuffer" or "D:" in the plugin files. I tried to uninstall and install the plugin with QGIS 2.8.2 on Ubuntu 14.04, but after import I found nothing that looked like ~/D:\multibuffer. Nothing happens when I start QGIS and the plugin. So this is very strange. Can you try to reproduce it?

[pcav]

Just tested:

• rm ~/D:\multibuffer
• started QGIS, with Multi-distance buffer v 0.1 installed
• ~/D:\multibuffer is created straight away. Debian sid, QGIS 2.8.4. Thanks.

[havatv]

Very strange, indeed. Could there be other plugins that are causing this? What happens if you first uninstall the Multi-distance buffer plugin, then remove the strange directory (~/D:\multibuffer) and finally restart QGIS?

[pcav]

Oho, you seem to be right! Uninstalling the plugin, rm the dir, restarting qgis recreates the dir again. So it must be something else, unclear what. Sorry about the noise, but the name really pushed be on the wrong track.

[havatv]

Thanks for clarifying! And good to hear that it was a false alarm this time.

The previous commit was supposed to reference issue #2!
