Locked folder of code by PB

Hello at all

I don't know if for you it's the same thing, but since several years i have the same strange behavior :

When i run a code in the PB IDE, the "PureBasic_Compilation0.exe" appears in my folder code beside my PB code (Normal 8) )
And when i close it the "PureBasic_Compilation0.exe" disappears (Normal too 8) )

But now...it's impossible to rename the folder code :shock:
The only one way, is close and reopen PB IDE and after i can rename the folder fo code :oops:

Someone have the same behavior or know how ?

Have a good day

Yes, I can confirm this.

I already reported this, but without result.

Yes, I can confirm too. Closing all open files doesn't solve the problem so I'm guessing that there is a separate handle to the folder itself somewhere which doesn't get closed until the IDE is closed.

But having said that - I can't find one...

Oh yes I can...
When you double click a file in explorer and the IDE isn't already open, a handle is opened to the containing folder which isn't closed when the file is closed. It doesn't happen when a file is opened via the open dialog, recent files or if the IDE is already open. Does this fit with your observed behaviours?

Saw this, too. Pbcompiler.exe has an handle to project folder.

Using Compiler --> Restart Compiler solves it here.

Thanks at you three for your advice, I feel less alone now 8)

It's true it's annoying like behavior :|
But if INFRATEC have already signaled the problem, i suppose there are nothing to do :|

I can't say, because i always open PB source with drag/drop or in the recent file in the IDE menu :wink:
