Hi all,

I want to change the temporary directory used by calibre. According to the manual:
https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/customize.html
this is controlled by the environment variable CALIBRE_TEMP_DIR. I did:
$export CALIBRE_TEMP_DIR=/new/path/
but Calibre insists of using the old path (/tmp).

How can I set CALIBRE_TEMP_DIR on Linux?
Any ideas?
