Photo doesn't release file handlers (follow up)


Recommended Posts

Hello guys,

 

I reported this problem some time ago. It seems it was partially fixed. Photo keeps file handles open even after closing the document in Photo, thus I cannot move or delete files in Windows.

If I drag and drop an image file on Photo's tools bar, then proceed to close the document. I DO can move or delete the file in Windows. All good.

However, if I drag and drop an image file on Photo's tools bar (same operation as before). Then repeat the drag and drop operation with the very same image file. Photo doesn't create another document for the same image file because one already exists. Fair enough. Now, close the document. This time though, I cannot move or delete the file because Windows says the file is open in Affinity Photo.

It seems like even though Photo doesn't create a new document, a new file handle is created and not used, locking up the file.

 

This problem also happens in Affinity Designer.

 

Hope these repro steps make sense.

Thanks
