Or QgsProcessing.TEMPORARY_OUTPUT as value for the OUTPUT parameter to have QGIS place it in your temp directory automatically.

| May 25, 2018 at 7:49 | comment | added | Sophie Crommelinck | Thanks for your explanation, it sounds very reasonable. However, when I create the shapefile for use in an interactive QGIS plugin, I thought it would be more common practice to store the intermediate processing files in memory. If I would store the shapefile on the disk, is there a general qgis directory for temporary files craeted within the plugin? If yes, whats the path valid for all plugin users? | |
