@iSwimInTheC Yes, you're propbably right. I just don't get why it indexes my files, as it is a bunch of "toys" and I only use 4 of its features where none of them would need indexing or benefit of it in any way
-
@lorentz good hint, that could indeed be the reason. I just don't think a file handle needs to open any longer than the file being used.
But what can I expect of a collection named "toys" :/ -
@vlord maybe it leaks, maybe it got deadlocked. Holding a lock on user files indefinitely is clearly not intentional.
Made my day 😂😂
Found this in our codebase, apparently one of my co-workers had written this
Windows PowerToys randomly locked an image on my computer and I was not able to delete it.
I closed PowerToys and was able to delete the image.
But why was the file locked by Power"Toys" in the first place? Hint: I did not use any tool on this image whatsoever, I just randomly noted it was locked. Wtf are all these programs doing in my private files without my knowledge? >:(
