Is /tmp/pope_cache related to this plugin?

    I have just noticed a file I am unfamiliar with, /tmp/pope_cache. When I locate to see what else may have this name, I see the following

    /nextgen-gallery/non_pope/class.pope_cache_drivers.php
    /nextgen-gallery/pope/lib/class.pope_cache.php

    Based on this, is the /tmp/pope_cache a legitimate part of this plugin or is it something unrelated and possibly a security concern?

    thanks

    NextGen has its own small framework (POPE) that we use to emulate mixins & provide a kind of dependency injection; we temporarily had a filesystem cache of our object dependency tree but the most recent releases haven’t used it.

    Feel free to delete the directory; if you’re using an older NextGen it may be recreated but it won’t cause any problems other than making the next couple of page loads slightly slower.
