           Summary: Transcoding to iPod creates temporary files in $HOME
           Product: amarok
           Version: 1.4.4
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: amarok-bugs-dist kde org
        ReportedBy: frans.englich telia com


Version:           1.4.4 (using KDE KDE 3.5.1)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
OS:                Linux

I have a collection of about 30 GBs ranging from formats in ogg to acc.

For transferring my whole collection to my fifth generation video iPod, I have selected Amarok to transcode code automatically when necessary(which I presume converts files to a format that my iPod can play when necessary). I've also selected it to delete files after the transcoding. I guess the configuration dialog could use some whatsthis/tool tips, since "transcoding" is a professional term.

The problem is that while doing this, it creates folders in my $HOME reading like $HOME/Satie, $HOME/Dvorak, etc. I have no idea why it does nor do I really want to know(I presume it's temp files), but I surely would like it to not use my $HOME dir for that.
