I have solved this problem by changing the permissions on /Applications/MacPorts to grant r/w to everyone.   I don't think this is the ideal fix but it does allow OMNotebook_Tempfiles to be written there and OMNotebook seems to work just fine.

Writing these files to TMPDIR or a similar location would be a better solution.

I have tried defining various other common names for TMPDIR (TMP, TEMP, etc) just in case I have the wrong environment variable but I have not found one that works.

Well. Your suggestion is already the one used (writing to the temp-directory that Qt believes is appropriate). The old code to create/remove this directory was still in place, but should now have been removed by me (r9274).

Thanks for the update.  I have install r9274 but that does not make a fully functioning OMNotebook.   There are icons (not the desired image) where the images should be, rather than whitespace.  On exiting OMNotebook I get the message "cannot remove /Applications/Macports/OMNotebook_tempfiles/1.png".   This folder does not exist in /Applications/MacPorts.   Making the folder r/w for all does not solve the problem.

Appreciate your advice.

Try r9288. I found another place where OMNxxx_tempfiles was used...

Thanks.  It works nicely now.
