GetTempDir bug?

[kpeters58]

  showmessage(GetTempDir(False) + #13 + GetTempDir(True));   

returns user's local temp dir in both cases....

Do others see this as well?

I see /tmp/ and /tmp/ on an i7 PC with Linux Mint 17.1, Laz 1.4RC1 and GTK2 widget set.

See implementation, on Windows it just checks for %TEMP% or %TMP%.

It is not a bug at all.
In windows
GetTempDir will always return users temp directory

Actually there are two temp directories, one is user temp dir and other is C:\Windows\TEMP

GetTempPath
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa364992%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

The GetTempPath function checks for the existence of environment variables in the following order and uses the first path found:

    The path specified by the TMP environment variable.
    The path specified by the TEMP environment variable.
    The path specified by the USERPROFILE environment variable.
    The Windows directory.
