.tmp-shm files

lolo

I was looking into my temp directory and saw thousands of *.tmp-shm files with a new one being created at least every minute. I found that only by shutting down Boxcryptor could I get this files to stop being created. What are these files and why are so many being created? I am using version 2.5.484.

same problem here on 2 systems : Win10-64 and Win10-32 BC 2.5.484
up to 8 files in appdata\local\temp each minute

Today I installed the latest update version 2.6.493 on my Windows 10-64 machine and same problem. I'm getting about four *.tmp-shm files created every minute in appdata\local\temp. I could understand if some temp files are created and then deleted daily for example or at some point but none of these are ever deleted.

Hi,

I just wanted to keep in the loop that the next release has been delayed a little bit due to the new Smart Sync feature Dropbox released to early access customers a few days ago. In order to support it properly in Boxcryptor, we need to make a few changes and we'd like to include these already in the next release.

Sorry for the delay,
Robert

Hi,

We have released a new version of Boxcryptor for Windows which contains the fix for non-deleted temporary files. You can download it here:
