What's the use-case for this? What problem are you trying to solve? |
|
Allow developers to easily find the cache directories created by a particular application for faster debugging. |
|
Debugging of what? Can you describe how you would use this for debugging? Just a name prefix will not help much as there will probably be more than one directory. |
|
@sindresorhus Having a prefix would allow us to know which application created the directory. |
|
Yes, but what do you do with that information? |
In my use case, my script automatically downloads and extracts a ffmpeg binary to a temporary path so, with a directory prefix, I can easily find the directory that it downloaded it to in order to check that it actually worked. |
