Peter,
If you work that way with other programs (like office) you should be able to just change the plist file I cited earlier you can set it to a much longer days between if you want to keep things around longer. As with Linux, this temp dir will be cleaned upon reboot. Also Sigil will properly clean up after itself too.

There may be ways for a user to set its own temp directory via the environment var TMPDIR, but I am not sure where Qt gets its Tempdirectory location from.

If you can somehow override the temp directory location, you can set it to your own folder in your home directory and not worry about Mac OSX cleaning anything underneath you.
