Subject: Re: [Finale] data-destroying bug, I've been bitten!
What I have noticed, when I haven't cleared out my TEMP directory manually
in a long time, is that the program foolishly reuses the old names, as if
the programmers have decided on a finite number of temp file names and the
program simply recycles them as needed.
Inspired post, IMHO, David. I had assumed the different filedates and times
reflected all my various Finale sessions - I would never have guessed that
files are being overwritten. The issue of deleting files on closing is
another matter - if Finale overwrites it's own temp files *while they are
still in use*, that would provide a plausible explanation for all manner of
peculiar and unpredictable behaviour we've experienced.
