Duplicate Cleaner 2.0 Beta
Gave it some serious cleanup to work on my C drive and it worked fine for a couple of tasks running for 6 hours or more on XP. Then tried similar large 50Gb cleanup task on a USB2 attached drive and it hangs halfway in. Repeated 3 times with varyinng progress but ending in a similar freeze. Content is pix and hd video files. The scan window stays reduced. Task Manager shows the task but not the application. version 1.43 rarely had such problems.
Re: Update
This appears to have been resolved by DotNet2.0 sp2.Steve Adams wrote:Just tried the beta. I upzipped it on my desktop, which happens to reside in a roaming profile on a Linux based samba file system. When I tried to run it run from there the app starts and closes immediately without reporting an error. Using sysinternals process monitor the problem appears to be a FileSystemControl call on the directory in which the exe resides with the parameter FSCTL_IS_VOLUME_MOUNTED for which the result is INVALID PARAMETER. If I copy to app to C:, it works fine, so it appears that the beta will not run from a Samba filesystem.
