Hi! I am new to the Directory Opus, but I have a weird glitch where I can't do anything to a particular files because it's "being used by another process" however it's 100% not and the Locksmith from the Power Tools clearly shows that the Directory Opus is the only process that is locking the file. How could it be and how may I resolve this issue?
Just to clarify: it also happened several times with random folders. I've tried to enforce an admin rights and try again but it didn't help. Thanks in advance!
Actually - yes, and it's trying to load something (judging by your question - this file) infinitely and I can't close it. Was thinking of creating a new topic about this - but during this viewer pane problem I also can't use any keyboard shortcuts and can't close the viewer pane either (just nothing happens)
For some reason I don't see many viewers in the DO preferences. As well as the ActiveX plugin which should've come preinstalled, very weird
And no, I haven't experienced any issues in the File Explorer but mostly because the STL files are assigned to the Chitubox slicer rather than Microsofr 3D object Viewer. Don't know how to change it
I've just found it - was searching for "ActiveX" and it's named "MetaPlugin". I am looking into it, will let you know if I fail or succeed in fixing the problem
The 'fix' was quite easy as the 3D Viewer wasn't installed at all (I use Blaze3D usually as it is much faster). The problem is that the viewer locks the file and I still can't rename it because of it
Is it possible to let the rename process to be in charge in such cases?
Nothing built into Opus will be trying to view STL files. 3D Object Viewer or something similar must be installed for that to be happening.
Preview handlers are supposed to not lock the files they are viewing (it's part of Microsoft's API spec) but Microsoft themselves, plus some of the people making PDF viewers, don't always follow the rules, or the viewer may be getting stuck mid-load due to bugs (3D Object Viewer in particular is full of bugs like that, and Microsoft seemed to abandon it a few months after releasing it, as is their way). You can tell Opus to open temporary copies of things in that case, but first you need to work out which viewer is handling the files (via the MetaPlugin config).
I can't comprehend how to enable any others preview handlers... I don't like the 3D Viewer but it seems that it's the only one available for me. I have PowerTools installed but it doesn't offer any PowerTools STL Previewers in the MetaPlugin
I went to check what you said and now it seems that the previews are being generated by the Blaze3D but it takes so much time to create it. But it's definitely not the Opus's fault so thank you for being patient and helping:)
