Allow temp folder to be stored in ram

if there was an option for the temp folder to be stored in ram it would help users with a hdd but a disproportionate amount of ram

I haven't experimented with this myself, but maybe try setting up a RAM disk and setting the temp directory to that?

@snoopchallenge Check out "ImDisk Toolkit". Been using it for years, also with flowframes: https://sourceforge.net/projects/imdisk-toolkit/

You can set it up to mount a RAM-Drive (20GB T:\ for example) directly on Windows boot and then you could use it either for temp files, or just as a fast storage, if you need fast access to files during video editing for example. Just keep in mind that everything is removed from that drive at reboot or at power loss ;)
