Cannot modify files because the file is open in Preview Handler Surrogate Host when developer files preview is enabled #16699

Closed sphars closed 2 years ago

sphars commented 2 years ago

Microsoft PowerToys version

0.56.1

Running as admin

Area(s) with issue?

Developer file preview

Steps to reproduce

When Enable developer files preview is enabled, any attempts to modify a file that is actively being previewed in Explorer will fail (at least .txt files). File modifications that I found that will fail include renaming the file and trying to delete the file.

Renaming steps:

  1. Create a new text document (right-click -> New -> Text Document) or find an existing file.
  2. The new file is pre-selected to be renamed. You can also see that the preview pane is previewing the empty file.
  3. Attempt to rename the file.
  4. The action cannot be completed:

This error also appears when renaming a file by going into the file's Properties dialog.

Same thing when attempting to delete the file:

  1. Select the file in Explorer. Confirm the preview pane is previewing the file.
  2. Try to delete the file.
  3. The action cannot be completed:

Other actions such as copy/paste seem to work as expected.

Bug report: PowerToysReport_2022-03-01-21-32-01.zip

(I did search for an existing issue but couldn't find one, apologies if this is a duplicate).

✔️ Expected Behavior

Attempts to rename (via right-click or F2) or delete a file succeeds and the file is renamed or deleted respectively.

❌ Actual Behavior

The action fails because the file is open in Preview Handler Surrogate Host

This should actually be fixed with this version, but I didn'ttest it with renamwing files. I will look if I can repro it

It's edge that keeps file in use.

Just tested the new update, I can confirm that this issue is no longer present in v0.56.2. Thanks for the fix @Aaron-Junker!

Thank you for double-checking it.

Disagree with previous comments, I still have this issue in 0.56.2. More accurately, I have the issue most of the time... but sometimes it works! (no identified reason to that) Windows 10 Pro 19041.1415
