Notes from 27th Jun 2005
[posted at 10:00 GMT]    

As you may know I am using Picture Window Pro (pwp) software for adjusting my pictures. I like this program very much. Is small fast and intuitive. It simple interface allows me to do everything I like directly without reading hundreds pages of manual. For a longer time I have a following problem:
If I use pwp to open any tif files which resides under 'My Documents' directory in WinXP it hangs, first before displaying open file dialog than before loading a file and same happens in saving. First it hangs If I change directory in save file dialog and it hangs before actual saving. Hanging last about 15-40 seconds and it consume 100% of CPU power.
I can open tif file on other directories without any delays but once I open tif file in any sub directory of 'My Documents' opening same files outside 'My Documents' produced the same delay/hanging behavior until I do not close and start pwp again.
This is pwp only behavior, I can use other software (irfan view or imatch) on the same tif file in 'My Documents' without any problems.

I do not know what is cause of this problem, maybe you know? For me is clear for now, I just do not use 'My Documents' for my pictures anymore.
