Just clarifying: the remapped intermediate images are always written to
the working directory regardless of whether they are 'temporary' (i.e.
even when Hugin deletes them afterwards).

This is how Hugin has worked since the Makefile stitching system was
implemented, but there are good reasons to change it: The temp directory
could be on a larger partition, or it could be on a faster partition
such a ramdisk.

Fixing this would require creating a secure folder in the temp directory
and writing any intermediate files that the user hasn't asked to keep in
this folder. i.e. if the user asks to keep all temporary files then the
behaviour would be the same as currently.

Title:
  Current directory used for temporary files

Status in Hugin - Panorama Tools GUI:
  Incomplete
Status in Hugin default series:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I've tried to use hugin and enblend with TIF output. However, this
  generated two TIF files with more than 100MB, which filled up my /home
  partition. However, I have a few gigabytes free at another partition.

  A similar issue could arise if /home was a network-mounted filesystem.
  Even though I would want to operate on files from that filesystem and
  save the final result there, those huge temporary files should be
  stored elsewhere (/tmp or any user-defined place).

  My suggestion: allow the user to specify an alternate temporary
  directory.
