This was, sheesh, 20 years ago, but my nit with Windows is how it always locks files.
And using your example of Desktop Search, more than once I’ve had a build fail because it could not delete the files in the artifact directory because the desktop search was indexing one of the files.
Not often, not always, just enough to be very annoying. I was always bumping heads with file locks one way or another.
- pjmlp 2y agoWhile the experience could be better, UNIX is the outlier on bad approaches to file locks, meaning having none at all. There is a reason why UNIX file locks are called advisory.
