/tmp/lnav-user-NNN-work advertised but not used

[elad-eyal]

Version: lnav 0.10.1-beta1-dirty from release page

when I type lnav -v I get this

Paths:
  Configuration, session, and format files are stored in:
    📂 /home/***/.lnav

  Local copies of remote files and files extracted from
  archives are stored in:
    📂 /tmp/lnav-user-1003-work

However /tmp/lnav-user-1003-work is never created; and ~/.lnav/stdin-captures directory is created and populated whenever I start lnav.

I tried deleting ~/.lnav and the same thing happens - ~/.config/lnav/stdin-captures is being used.

Yes, the dir in temp is only created if remote files are archives are opened.

I'm not sure what this issue is about... do you want it mentioned in the help text that the directory is not created by default?

I thought stdin-captures would be relocated to /tmp too.
