intermediates_dir option for the quarto render command?

[eitsupi]

Is it possible to change the name of the directory that contains the temporary files generated during rendering as in rmarkdown::render() function's intermediates_dir option.

When parallelizing a task that creates multiple files from a template by parameters, rendering will fail if the temp directory cannot be changed.
My use case is rocker-org/rocker-versioned2#322

We don't currently have this (and may not add it soon b/c there are so many codepaths that deal w/ paths and have an implicit dependency on the current behavior). For now I'd suggest staging a copy of the project dir in temp dir(s) for parallel renders.

Thank you for your quick answer!
