Temporary files

[GoogleCodeExporter]

osm2garmin fills my C: drive (c:\users\user\appdata\local\temp\) with a lot of 
huge files.

Is there a way to set another temporary directory on another drive?

Temporal directory is filled in with large files by Osmosis, the external tool 
used by Osm2garmin to process OSM data and updates. According to the Osmosis 
documentation, this command-line switch should change temporal directory for 
Osmosis:

-Djava.io.tmpdir=<your-tmp-dir-absolute-path>

You can edit default_options line in the file osm2garmin.conf located somewhere 
here:

C:\Program Files\osm2garmin_1.2\etc\osm2garmin.conf

to make change of the temporal directory permanent.

One more note: Use forward slashes in the parameter, e.g.
-Djava.io.tmpdir=d:/myosmosistemdir/

-J-Djava.io.tmpdir=d:/myosmosistempdir/ works.
