Have you tried?

Because mkstemp(3) allows paths to be part of the file name, so probably the 
corresponding QTemporaryFile's constructor could do it too.


The more important problem that I see with QTemporaryFile, is that 
QTemporaryFile does not allow to use an extension, as the XXXXXX must be at 
the end. (And that cannot be changed as it is due to mkstemp(3).)

So it does not replace KTempFile.
