Usenet Explorer

when i double-click a video in UE, winamp starts playing the video. by default, i have winamp set to repeat. this causes a problem because when winamp reaches the end of the video file, it closes the file so UE deletes it. then winamp crashes because the file is gone.

ya, bad behavior on the part of winamp, but adding a 10 second delay before UE deletes the temporary file upon release of the last file handle would be helpful!

it doesn't track file handles, it just delays clearing temp dir by 1 minute or so. you can uncheck autoclear temp dir in properties->general and ivnoke it manually through the button in properties.

Maybe it's possible to let UE clear it's temp dir on closing UE.
Then you don't have the problem longneck describes and you don't have to do it manually either.

ok i'll add cleaning temp dir on exit in the next version.

That's cool, thanks.
The Autoclear option is not needed anymore then, I think.
The clear autotempdir button maybe better moved to the edit menu, next to the "clear history" menu.

I hope the autoclear function remains though as I hardly ever close UE.

i'll just add temp dir cleanup on exit in the meantime and it won't be even an option

this is a very small matter.
