Checksum plugin: Blocking files?

[Eric]

After using the checksum plugin (Verify) and closing it, it seems that a file handler stays opened.
I'm using it over a shared network folder, and it happens nearly everytimes (for larger files).

I checked it with process explorer and it shows a file handler (not closable).

AS 2.5.3 Beta2
Win 7 (64Bit) and Win2008R2 (64Bit)

Thanks

Hi Eric,
I am unable to reproduce the problem. Did the verification finish before you closed the Verify window? Were there any errors reported during the Verification?

Hi Jan,
Yes, the verification was finished. I closed the plugin and then I tried to move the directory (where the files are) -> Error, file in use.
After the error, I checked the file handlers. One of the verified file was still open (in the process of AS).

After closing AS and restarting, I was able to move the directory.

Thanks
Eric

Note: maybe the problem is not related to the Checksum plugin. It could be caused by any shell extension (third-party software component installed on your computer) loaded into AS process.

[Eric]

Yes, could be.
But there are not other process loaded into AS (process explorer would show it as child process), and the file is only locked by the AS process.

Thanks

Shell extensions are hosted (running) in Windows Explorer (or Altap Salamander, etc.) process. Please see http://www.altap.cz/salam_en/faulty_she ... sions.html

One of those I haven't installed.
I have TortoiseSVN, PowerArchiver, perhaps Snagit 10. So I can't tell.
