GIMP not releasing folder lock on images opened
GIMP version: 2.10.8
Operating System: Windows 10 Pro
Package: Installer from gimp.org
Description of the bug
GIMP is not releasing folders which contain images that were opened though explorer, even after all images in GIMP are closed. GIMP has to be closed completely before folder lock is released. Causes major disruption in workflow if working on separate projects at the same time but have to close unrelated images of a byproduct of having to close out gimp to release folder lock. Folder lock makes no sense because the image files are no locked, images can be deleted, but folders cannot. Bug is demonstrated in the following screenshots:
-
Folder is "In Use" even though I was able to delete all files in the folder.
-
Sysinternals Process Explorer shows that GIMP has a lock on the folder.
Reproduction
Is the bug reproducible? Always
Reproduction steps:
- Open an image file in GIMP by double clicking on it in Explorer
- Close image file in GIMP
- Attempt to modify or delete folder that image file was in
…
Expected result: Able to modify or delete folder as GIMP is not using them any more.
Actual result: Have to close GIMP out completely before folder lock is released.
