A system temporary folder is being used for storage of image swap files

[umasscrew39]

I get this warning error when I open the program.  Can someone please direct to instructions as to how to fix this?  The statement in the error message: "You can define swap file directories with the Preference process, Directories and Network section" means nothing to me.  I would have assumed that PI would automatically figure out how to handle stored images on these files.

open the global preferences process, click on the directories and network section, and then specify one or more directories where you want to store swap files. then when done, click the global apply button (the circular button at the bottom of the window.)

the system temporary folder(s) is a totally rational place to store files, but over the years it was discovered that sometimes windows (and macosx) will clean out these directories automatically, thus preventing you from saving your projects. so juan added this warning so that you will know you are at risk of this happening.
