I saw output.txt and http-output.txt in my home dir. I checked if i didn't off text_file thrice - anyway that files, both are empty. Then i tried to reset output files of this plugin to \"/tmp/output.txt\" and \"/tmp/http-output.txt\". After scan i saw both \"/tmp/output.txt\", \"/tmp/http-output.txt\" and \"~/output.txt\", \"~/http-output.txt\".\r\n\r\nThen I looked /w3af/plugins/output/text_file.py , and found that \"~/output.txt\" and \"~/http-output.txt\" are hard-coded into `__init__` function. I tried to assign both an empty string, but w3af_console refused to start with:\r\n\r\n```\r\n$ ./w3af_console\r\nError while reading plugin options: \"Invalid file option, you have to specify a non-empty value.\"\r\n```\r\n\r\nIs there a way to suppress these files appearance?\r\n\r\nSincerely yours,\r\nK.
