0.39 Win-x64 batch rename glitch
Posted: Sat Feb 18, 2012 1:22 pm
hello,
after starting xnviewmp in admin mode
I tried renaming some files in a folder, however I wasn't the owner of all files there & obviously there still was a security issue
so xnviewmp returned an error message : something like "can't rename files"
all of the above is expected behavior and is fine.
however what is not is that it started renaming a single file & did not finish which left me with a "tmp-xnview-0" file
which I renamed with .jpg to see that it was one of my files, I then sorted them by sizes, & sure enough it wasn't a duplicate, it was one of my original wallpapers
so the "bug" or "glitch" is as follows :
-when batch renaming, if there's an error in the middle of the process, the whole thing will just stop & leave temporary renamed files laying around...
maybe it should undo everything before exiting don't you think ? or at least rename back those temporary renamed files ...
