Peeker bug
I’ve just realised there’s a bug in Peeker, my image preview application for Windows Explorer.
To check out the bug, simply make a right button click on any image of your hard drive, and then click on the image preview in the context menu of Peeker. You will open, as usual, a new window with the fully scaled image. Close that window. Now, try to delete the file from Windows Explorer. That’s right, it doesn’t work. Windows says that the file can’t be deleted because it’s being used by another process.
What’s happening is quite simple: while closing the full size image view form I don’t specifically free the loaded image, so Windows finds the file is not free when trying to delete it. It’s not a show-stopper, in fact is already corrected in my local version, but it’s got me thinking.
I want to add more functionality to Peeker, besides correcting this and any other bug that could appear; but I don’t want to add a new post every other day stating that a new Peeker version is avaliable. And I’m quite willing to develop a WinForms application with an auto-update feature, so I hope that really soon you’ll be able to download a new and final version of Peeker which will auto update, so we don’t have to pay attention to this kind of things.
