Temporary workspace names

Description (last modified by Russell Taylor) (diff)

Much like languages have a set of functions for creating temporary filenames, mantid needs a ability to generate unique temporary workspace names. The facility should:

  1. be accessible from C++ and python
  2. allow the caller to specify a prefix
  3. allow the caller to specify whether or not the workspace will be hidden from the workspace tree.

  • Status changed from assigned to verify
  • Resolution set to invalid
  • Description modified (diff)

I'm going to make the argument that if your workspace is temporary, then you should be accessing it via pointer rather than name (within, e.g., your workflow algorithm).

Feel free to disagree and re-open (but you'd better assign it to someone else if you do).
