7506 :: Temporal folder

  I need to create a temporary folder and the first result when I google is this issue 9372 that refers to the Please do not use this note. Is it good enough for windows/linux usage? Should I use something else?

  what about the library mentioned in that issue? since the proposed resolution was to include it into fusion, i'd give that a go.

  If unix-only works for you then you can just call mkdtemp from stdlib.h:

  import os
  proc mkdtemp*(tmpl: cstring): cstring {.header:"stdlib.h".}
  let tmp = getEnv("TMPDIR", "/tmp")
  let tdir = mkdtemp(tmp & "/myApp-XXXXXX"); echo tdir
  Run
