As long as V5 is open the folder which a selected STL is in is locked and unable to be used.
I have to shut V5 down in order to be able to move the folder or do any other action with it. This is a real pain.
It also doesn't matter if that STL is actually selected at the current time.
I can select STL A and slice. Once done I can select STL B (different folder) and slice but I cannot do anything with the folder STL A is in until S3D V5 is closed.
Re: V5 Locks Folder STL Is In.
I haven't been able to reproduce this myself yet. Can you tell us what operating system version you are using?
Re: V5 Locks Folder STL Is In.
I am using Win11.
Here is the scenario.
I have a folder structure for customer orders.
A folder is created for the customer order. Under that folder is the Zip folder and the un-zipped folder with the STL files. Also any other info/files are in the customer folder.
When a job is completed I move the whole customer folder to a "Completed Jobs" folder.
As long as V5 is open I cannot move the folder. I assume this is due to V5's feature of reloading a file if changes are made. Even if I select another file in a different folder the previous one remains locked until I exit V5.
