As I've said many times before I do video work and accordingly move,
copy and alter files constantly. It is common to move files around and
open and close them in various applications.
We all know the BS Microsoft attempts to claim with it's new phony
"security" which is suppose to "protect" you. What a laugh! This is
another example of how utterly lame and useless Micosoft's sham
"security" really is in the real world.
I can open a file in some application, perhaps make a screen capture
to make a thumbnail, even edit the video file in Vista and it won't
complain. Once done, Vista lets me move the file. So far so good. As
it should be. Now watch how utterly dumb Vista can be and how it
needlessly interfers with harmless common everyday operations.
Next I move the altered video file from Drive E to F. Again Vista
doesn't nag, no reason for it to. Now to simply clean up the EMPTY
folder from drive E, I try to delete it. Remember the folder is
E M P T Y and presents absolutely no security threat to anything...
how could it? The damn folder is empty!
What does Vista do? Nag like druken mother-in-law saying:
"The action can't be completed because the folder is open in another
application. Close the folder and try again".
Now remember this same folder was also open when I altered the file.
It also was open when I did some at least potentially threatening
action...altering and moving the file, yet Vista said nothing and
didn't attempt to stop me.
Yet once I've moved the file and potentially done damage to the system
and then when I only want to clean up and get rid of a now empty
folder Vista freaks and nags I can't remove a empty folder pretending
that could be a threat, but actually altering a file and moving it
Vista doesn't consider a threat. Laughable!
Such stupid, not thought through, sloppy and reckless programming is
what Microsoft is famous for. To continue I now have to shut down the
application the file WAS open in only to immediatley reopen the same
application again to work on the next file and naturally again go
through this same bullshit over and over.
Microsoft, wake up and hire programmers that have at least a clue what
they're doing. PLEASE! I mean come on... even a ten year old kid knows
the different between the potential "threat" posed by altering a
file's name and/or moving it and the harmless act of deleting a emply
folder.
How come your programmers don't know the difference?
