Temp folder "HV"

[jassing]

Anyone know what the point of the folder %temp%\hv is? It always contains some purebasic code
I don't run any antivirus (computer is offline) I don't know what's creating it, but it always contains purebasic code.

HistoryViewer ?

The original from IDE or the extra from HeX0r, if you have installed it ?

Don't know. It never exists for me. Must be some third-party PureBasic tool or app doing it.

I don't think it's PB related, the history session file is a sqlite one in your personal appdata/purebasic folder

Search (with Everything) on your HD if you have:
hv.exe, hv_x64.exe or hv.zip (2015 Sept)

And in console, as admin: tasklist | findstr /i "hv"

historyviewer.chm
History Viewer, what is it, and what can it do for you?
· History Viewer (HV) is a very easy to use personal version controlling tool.
· HV will help you to restore almost any of your older code versions.
· Normally HV was meant to be a version controlling tool only for PureBasic, but since V2.10 you should also be able to use it for any coding language you want to.
You may want to look into its Program Parameters or check the Getting Started section.

(I don't know where it comes from)

Yes, that's from history viewer, it creates the HTML preview of the code there.

thanks! Didn't occur to me since I didn't open history viewer..

If I remember it right, it uses that temp folder also to create tmp. history updates before uploading them into the database (whenever you've closed the IDE and did some changes on a source code before).
What's the problem? TMP folder is for temporary files, isn't it?

If you don't like that, there is a checkbox in the preferences to remove tmp files when IDE closes.

no "problem" I was curious as to what was creating it; I noticed it when I was deleting out my temp folder, and it's created everytime I ran pb and not removed; so I was curious. A question does not equal a problem.
