temp files issue

Upon re-installing (once again, to the SD card), no new freda directory was reinstalled in device memory. However, once I started opening books, it was recreated. That's problem #1, and if at all possible, I'd prefer Freda's temp files were created in it's install directory when that's on a card, not device memory.

The second problem is that for certain books (converted by calibre), it can't seem to paginate, but in the course of trying, it creates a ton of files in its temp directory. One book, one of my largest at around 1.2MBs, never paginated with Freda, but I didn't care because it worked fine anyway. With the most recent public release version after failing to paginate it gave me a dialog at the bottom with the chapter number followed by a period and the page number (11.4, turn the page to 11.5 etc) even though it didn't know how many pages there were. I've open 4 books whose combined size is a little more than 3 MBs, and in the time, watching the memory consumption in control panel, I've watched the free device storage drop 15MBs.

I'm going to open some more books and see how far it goes, then I'll email the log file and some additional details.

Edit: Well I feel like a moron, I just noticed you can set the temp directory in settings. Still, 100 MBs for a couple of books? I just opened 1 532k epub, and lost over 4MBs to temp files. I suspect my books that refuse to paginate are resulting in much larger temp files over time.
