lots of notes for my portable app settings, ripped flac and mp4 files from audio discs and dvd movies. I will reach out to the dev and ask why the change, this of course is a different issue, I'm only wanting to know why Windows File Explorer can't see this file so I can delete it if need be? Anyone know how to get at any file like this that a dev chooses to drop anywhere on our system just because they can, so we can delete them? This is cumbersome though, my settings need to be changed back & forth, I have all settings and backups stored in the app's folder. The file is small, about 140KB on my system due to the size of my movie database, and I was able to point the app to this location in its backup settings which then loaded and gave me the option to delete the listed backups - and I did.
I also tried using XYplorer (free file manager) to no avail, despite selecting "show me everything" within the app's settings the file remains hidden in XYplorer as well.
Irfanview shows the file, File Explorer doesn't. I was searching for an image with Irfanview when I noticed a new file in the Open dialog - see attached pic of Irfanview and File Explore opened to the same location. I learned of the recent change in behaviour purely by accident. Strange thing is, File Explorer can't see it despite show hidden files, folders, and drives being checked. and upon first run after a program update now creates a file ( UPDATE_BACKUP_V3xx.dat) in C:\Windows, and it's hidden. I've discovered a portable app I use, EMDB (Eric's Movie DB), after the last few updates released.
