Description
I used MarkitDown to convert a PPT file on a Mac, but found that the jpg file was saved to C:/Users/Administrator/AppData/Local/Temp/, but I am using a MacOS system. How can I change this path?

Research direction
Reproduce the PPT-to-Markdown conversion on macOS and inspect the image extraction and temporary-file path handling. Confirm why a Windows-style path is reported and determine the expected configurable or platform-correct destination. Done means converted images use an appropriate macOS path or a documented setting controls the destination.
