First, lets look at what I am trying to achieve. Once a file is edited in an external editor and returned to C1, I want to rename the file. So, lets look at how this works in C1... Scenario A: -
1. Take any file, lets take a raw NEF file, lets call it IMG-1234567-A.NEF.
2. Right click and use 'Edit with' to edit in an external app, like Affinity Photo.
3. This creates a TIFF file in the same directory, calling the file IMG-1234567-A.TIF.
4. This file is opened up successfully in Affinity Photo.
5. If you just do an Exit at this point, the file is not touched, and you are retruned to C1.
6. After being returned to C1, I can edit the filename of the TIFF to IMG-1234567-B.TIF.
That all looks fine.
Okay, now lets add some editing work and a save from the external editor, repeating the process... Scenario B: -
1. Take any file, lets take a raw NEF file, lets call it IMG-1234567-A.NEF.
2. Right click and use 'Edit with' to edit in an external app, like Affinity Photo.
3. This creates a TIFF file in the same directory, calling the file IMG-1234567-A.TIF.
4. This file is opened up successfully in Affinity Photo. Adjust something: lets add brightness and flatten the image.
5. Exit Affinity Photo, and it will ask to save, and you say yes.
6. After being returned to C1, the image thumbnail looks good, but... it is not possible to rename the file, as C1 says a 'process is still using the file'.
Now, that is not fine. Every image I 'Edit with' outside of C1, is impossible to rename or even delete once returned from the external editor. I have checked, and the only processes running at that point in time are associated with C1, so I doubt it is Affinity Photo holding onto the file. I have also tried this with three different external editors, with the same result.
To add weight to the likelhood of C1 being at fault, if I exit C1, and restart, it will release its hold of the images and I am then free to rename them.
Looks like a C1 bug to me. Anyone willing to have a go?
Many thanks...
