TOAD 24.2.150.4235 Launch Temp message

Toad for Oracle - Beta
1

With TOAD 24.2.150.4235 on Windows 2016 , when I start TOAD, I have a message on TEMP file:
TOAD_TEMP
This directory does'nt exist in current windows session.

TOAD takes the last temp directory from file TOAD.INI, : Tempfile Location=C:\Users\adm_mara_t\AppData\Local\Temp\2\

In my new windows session I have :

C:\Users\adm_mara_t>set temp

TEMP=C:\Users\ADM_MA~1\AppData\Local\Temp\5

Toad's temporary folder doesn't have to be the same as the windows temp folder. It is set in Options -> Files and Folders -> App Folders

What's happening here is:

  1. Toad.ini somehow has a TEMP directory defined which no longer exists
  2. Toad is started and detects this
  3. Rather than try to create the directory, Toad defaults to the windows temp directory (and lets you know that this happened)

It should only happen one time, as Toad.ini gets updated with the new temp directory

It's ok with previous beta 24, and with TOAD 17.1

I did make a change in that code, but the old versions should have prompted too. I did not intend to change any functionality. I'll take a look. Thanks.

Next beta should resolve it. It may prompt one more time, but will be all.

The default temp folder for Toad will now be %TEMP%, which will tell Toad to ask windows what the temporary folder is each time it starts up.
