It did.

Only if GNUmed is configured to do so.

One could also dismiss/minimize/move the properties editor.

I believe they all have tooltips but I will re-check.

It does not point to a file anywhere. It displays the string from
the last alteration of that field, in most cases the original filename.
Again, this is mainly there to supply a filename extension for those
inferior OS' which rely upon such things.

GNUmed does not erase what it places in the place it was
instructed to use as a temporary directory because it cannot
know when it is safe to do so.

yes
