Alex_M Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 I found that in certain cases when I export an image, the image doesn't get exported and can even delete the one that I want to overwrite. This happens when I confirm the export and then very quickly do CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+S to invoke the Export window again. This happens only with the Export functionality. I can't replicate this with saving the AFPHOTO document (CTRL+SHIFT+S).

Staff Lee_T Posted August 8, 2022 Staff Share Posted August 8, 2022 Hi Alex_M, This is normal behaviour, the file is immediately deleted and rewritten (represented by the progress bar). As you are interrupting the export process, you are seeing that the file is no longer recognised by the OS as a an image file due to it being only part completed.

Alex_M Posted August 8, 2022 Author Share Posted August 8, 2022 I am not interrupting the export process. You can see it in the video. I invoke the export settings after the file has been exported. I'm just doing it quickly after it has been exported. Besides, is it not possible to not delete the previous file until after the new one has been properly exported? What happens if power goes out in the middle of exporting my file? My old image I was overwriting gets deleted? This doesn't sound well thought through and will result in loss of files in such situations. Any way this can be improved and change the behavior to deleting the old file only after a successful write operation?

Arguably we should prevent you from being able to do that, however it's not really a major issue as if you complete your export process again, you once again have a new file.

Alex_M Posted August 8, 2022 Author Share Posted August 8, 2022 Yes, I think that preventing this from happening would be really nice! No matter how hard I try, I can't get this issue to happen with normal saving (CTRL+SHIFT+S). It only happens when exporting.
