Hi
What are those names (including extension) please?

[necros]

@steven-seagal cra5e61.tmp ,
craff*

if it`s tmp files why not use system tmp variable path?
hidden . *.tmp files should scare users)

I could make temp files visible instead of hidden, perhaps optionally.

[necros]

why not redirect it to system TMP folder?

[STeven]

It's more involved. Keeping everything in one folder is also Steem's way since the beginning.
I'll think on it.

Hidden files with random names can sometimes be normal for betas, as they may store temporary data or settings. However, it’s always good to be cautious. I’d recommend scanning your system for any potential threats just to be safe. Also, if the app just arrived at the linehaul office in the UK , make sure it’s from a trusted source. If the files persist, it might be worth checking the app’s support forums for any similar reports.
