ASL file requester directory lock bug?

Post by TomSoniq »

Hi all,

I've come across the following strange behaviour:

When opening an ASL file requester in which you're allowed to select multiple files and you actually do select multiple files, e.g.

RAM:0/1.txt
RAM:0/2.txt

...then click on OK, the parent directory remains locked even if you deallocate the ASL requester properly. (At least I think I deallocate it properly)

As a result RAM:0 remains locked and can not be deleted.

I've seen the same behaviour in DVPlayer and TuneNet, so either they're all using the ASL requester in a wrong way or it's a bug in the OS.

Can somebody have a look at this, please?

Thanks :)

Which program are you using to select multiple files? Is there an OS4-supplied application or utility that does this?

[edit]
Never mind, I tried it with DvPlayer and I can confirm your complaint. I have created a bug report, #8374.
cheers
