change /tmp settings after allsky installation

[Supergamerx3000]

When the Installation Script runs, he asks the user for the /tmp folder that the files are automatic deleted while rebooting the raspberry.

I have said no because I don't understand the question at the first time. Then the script say tmp files will remain in folder.

How can I change this after the allsky is completely installed and configured?

Kind Regards
Pascal

@Supergamerx3000, Pascal,
~/allsky/tmp is used to hold temporary files while Allsky is running, like the current image. None of its contents have any meaning after a reboot, so the directory is cleared out every reboot.
Do you have a suggestion on how I can improve the wording on the question?
The initial question is

Making ~/allsky/tmp reside in memory can drastically decrease the amount of writes to the SD card, increasing its life.

Do you want to make it reside in memory?
Note: anything in it will be deleted whenever the Pi is rebooted, but that's not an issue since
the directory only contains temporary files.

After you selected "No" you saw the message:

/home/pi/allsky/tmp will remain on disk.

Is it this second message that was confusing? Is the following message any better?

The /home/pi/allsky/tmp directory and its contnts will remain on the SD card.

To change it afterwards see the How do I reduce wear on my SD card? section on this page.

Hello, yes, that's exactly what confused me a bit, and I would also write at the top of the question:

YES: data is processed in RAM:
NO: data is processed in the /tmp directory (higher load on the SD card)

And I have a question after changing the setting this error message came:

I manually deleated the directory because the script can't delete them.

@Supergamerx3000, glad you got it working.

Since it's working you can ignore those messages. I just fixed the bug that produced those messages in the next Allsky release.
