Temp working directories

[ApkRE]

APKEditor creates temp random named temp directory (tmp_xxxxxxxx) on every use and my dev directory is full of these which I have to keep deleting
Can you add an option to choose the temp working directory or automatically delete the working directory after use?

Many thanks for a great tool

[REAndroid]

Did you find .apk files inside those tmp directory ?
Which OS are you using ?

[ApkRE]

I'm using Windows
No files in them, just empty directories. 1 created each time I "merge" regardless of the output directory

[REAndroid]

I don't have windows machine, confirm 1.3.7 solves this issue

[ApkRE]

Still the same with 1.3.7
While merging directory tmp_1836e20c is created and apks extracted there
apks deleted once done, directory remains
Running again creates tmp_1836e20c_1

I updated to log the reason why directory not being deleted. Build your own or download from Artifacts.
Please test and let us know your results

[ApkRE]

I downloaded from your Artifacts link and tried again and it's still the same... :(

[REAndroid]

I was hopping you come back with logs

[REAndroid]

Thank you, i assumed you censored *PackageName* and not real value.

01.479 I: [MERGE] files.length = 2tmp_565db641\*PackageName*.apk
tmp_565db641\config.armeabi_v7a.apk

Supper odd for me! this two files were deleted even twice, I have to debug this myself on windows

[ApkRE]

Yes I censored the package name, no problem with the name, same problem with all files...
Thanks :)
