xyplorer corrupts my temp environment variable

The Status bar announces that XYplorer.ini and a bunch of other.

To me it looks like that these error-messages (like the ones shown in Bild1.png) are only for certain dat-files, but not for all, and also not for the XYplorer.ini. Effectively erasing the last backup, leaving you with no config and no backup if you continue closing XY. If we try to close XY again, we get the same series of error-msgs but this time AutoBackup is able to backup the currently zero-byte sized XYplorer.ini from data-folder to the AutoBackup-folder. Maybe this creates some form of race-condition.īecause AutoBackup failed completely silet, the grown files have not been updated in the AutoBackup-folder.Īllthough there where error-msgs for udc.dat and fvs.dat (which is also reflected in the 'Errors on Save Settings!'-dialog), these files look normal, but ks.dat, tag.dat and XYplorer.ini have zero bytes now. Of cause a bunch of settings, keyboard-shortcuts, folder-view settings and so on changed over that last year. I found a old config-backup, but that was about a year old, so not really fresh. You may claim, that I should have a backup, you are right about this. Not having the settings saved would be way better because the last restart (and due to that also the last config state) was at maximum a few days old. Maybe this can be improved in a way that XYplorer checks for enough free space before writing any config-files to disk. The files in the 'AutoBackup' folder where also corrupted (XYplorer.ini had 0 bytes).

I deleted it and got the default behaviour back. Long story short, ks.dat seems to be also corrupted. After that I also got strange behaviour like ENTER and BACKSPACE for basic folder navigation did not work anymore. With save-settings-on-exit enabled I got a bunch of errors which I just clicked away.Īfter the restart XY looked like factory-resetted. So this did not work (I think because the queue-file could not be written).Īt this point I did not quite get what the cause was and decided to just restart XYplorer. I tried to delete some files through XYplorer but I also had background-processing of delete operations enabled. Recently I downloaded some files to my system drive up to the point where not a single byte of free space was left.
