Yes. Calibre appears to create a new Temp directory each time it's opened which gets deleted on closure. I didn't find a clean-up-as-you-go function but that doesn't mean there isn't one. I'll take another look. |
There must be something, because I am pretty sure conversions do just that.
But I think you may be creating one or two extra copies of some data as well, which should probably be optimized.
I had two identical copies of the original book in the main Temp directory, a third copy in format_abspath,
and the unpacked version.
Given I have once or twice nearly crashed my computer by accidentally starting to convert dozens (60+) books at a time... because on linux, $TMP is a ramdisk...
I am understandably wary of anything that dumps multiple hundreds of MB into $TMP without actually needing to.
