Shell Extension deleting files

Post by cdivizia »

Hi,

sometimes shell extension crashes and deletes the .jpg file it is working on;
unfortunately there's no way to recover the erased file since it actually disappears, not even moved to the thrash bin

I think this happens when I press ENTER while adding keywords, especially with large files.

(by the way, it would be better if ENTER could act as ADD instead of WRITE, to avoid rewriting the file each time a keyword is added, which is probably the reason why file is deleted, possibly if I press ENTER twice too quickly, before writing is complete)

If you try to replicate this error, please note it only happens at times.

Strange, XnShellExt never delete file. Could you tell me how to reproduce?

Hi,

it's difficult to replicate, it happens only once in a while

mainly with large .jpg files, such as 10+ MB (compressed size), when pressing "enter" in the keyword tab

it never happens by clicking "add" or "write"
