# Again, vimcolor plugin question…

 * I use vimcolor plugin for my syntax highlighting, as it works for LaTeX code.
 * The plugin generates a lot of temporary files in WP’s *root* directory (hundreds!),
   and there’s no configuration option to change it. I found the code says:
    ` $
   in_file = tempnam($GLOBALS['conf']['file_directory_temp'], 'pl'); $out_file =
   tempnam($GLOBALS['conf']['file_directory_temp'], 'htm');
 * where ‘pl’ and ‘htm’ are the temporary file prefix.
    I wonder if I can hard wire
   the directory there. I am no good at PHP programming, let’s say I want the temp
   file stored in /tmp/vimcolor, how do I re-write the above code?
 * Thanks,
