Dropping tmp files (.z.XXXXXX)
z still manages to drop tempfiles every once in a while in a pretty hard to reproduce way. It's better than it used to bem and more of a nuisance than anything, but till it's completely fixed, this issue will remain open.
Just wanted to say that this is definitely still happening, I have around 10 - 50 of these on my machines generated around on file every week. have you thought about setting a signal trap to remove them on exit? (or yeah better putting them literally anywhere else but my home directory)
Why not just put them in /tmp? That typically resides in memory anyways, so mv from /tmp to $HOME shouldn't be a performance issue, even on strange drive setups. Or perhaps, $HOME/.cache/z.
tempfile="$(mktemp /tmp/.z.XXXXXX)"
