I've been playing around with the new Get(TemporaryPath) function. Im trying to store a pdf file using the Save As PDF script step and saving it to the temporary path i assign to a variable.

The file finds its way to the correct directory (YEAH!) but when I restart my PC the file still exists in the temp dir.

I thought one of the benefits of using this dir was that the files were automatically deleted after a restart. Am I missing something?

UPDATE

In discussing with a few colleges we have found that files that are labeled as

FMTEMPFM{somefilename}.tmp will be deleted when FMP startsup (not shuts down).

However it seems to me this would severely limit the usability of the file.

Any additional thoughts?

****UPDATE*****

And another update

I just added the prefix FMTEMPFM to a .pdf file and left the file extension as .pdf

I then tried to open FMP and the file was deleted....HURRAY. This is the behavior I was expecting.

I guess that it looks for the FMTEMPFM prefix for cleanup.

I havent seen any documentation citing this though.
