The environment variable `TMPDIR' controls the placement of temporary files
as documented in section "Tuning Memory Usage" of the Enblend and Enfuse
manuals.

The actual, assigned directory for the ImageCache can easily be inquired by
calling Enblend or Enfuse with the option pair `--verbose --version' or shorter
`-Vv', and the relevant part of answer looks like this:
    Extra feature: image cache: yes
      - environment variable TMPDIR not set, cache file in default directory "/tmp"
or
    Extra feature: image cache: yes
      - environment variable TMPDIR set, cache file located in "/work"
if
    TMPDIR=/work

Both options, `--verbose' and `--version' are documented, too.

The user is responsible for setting up TMPDIR (if required at all) as well as
for feeding properly overlapping images with suitable alpha channel into
Enblend or Enfuse.

Title:
  enblend running out of temp space: poor diagnostics and configuration
  possibilities

Status in Enblend:
  New
Status in “hugin” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Hi,

  this is mostly a duplicate of
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/enblend/+bug/1220523.

  I would like to add that the diagnostic messages and documentation
  could be a lot better in this situation.

  Instead of "enblend: No space left on device" it would be much more
  helpfull to say *which device/dricetory* as this does not appear
  documented anywhere.

  Furthermore, is this device hardcoded in the source code or is it
  configurable somewhere? Again, did not find anything in the
  documentation.

  Finally, this just happened to me with 
  $ df /tmp/
  Filesystem     1K-blocks  Used Available Use% Mounted on
  tmpfs            1028148   924   1027224   1% /tmp

  and trying to stitch together 31 images. It would seem that similar
  situations may become increasingly common in the near future.

  Regards
