IRZip.lmd

[rmajid]

Hi All,

I have True update generating tons of files named IRZip.lmd under windows temp folder. it seems that it creates one file each time it connects to the server and place it under a directory with the name
_ir_tu2_temp_xxxxxxx where xxxxxxx is a sequential number that goes up every time the client is executed.
my client connects every minute to the server and downloads a file, doing the math, a directory with the name above is created with the lmd file inside every minute, that is 60 an hour, 1440 a day and it goes on eating the disk space and halting the os.

any idea what this lmd file is? and how to force true update to clean it up?

thanks in advance

This is the ZIP plugin file. What's odd is that it's not being deleted properly on application shutdown (your TU .exe)

FWIW, I've seen this across applications (TU, VP, SUF). I've gotten in the habbit of in the "on startup" code; I schedule all files and the templaunchfolder to be deleted on reboot.

however, if you're checking every 1 second, and it's getting left behind each time; why not do some coding in the TU clientside that scans the tempfolder and deletes (from tempfolder & on) all instances of lmd.zip (EXCEPT the one in templaunchfolder) and then issue folder.delete() on all _IR_* folders (don't use folder.deletetree!) that will quickly clean up "leftover" lmd.zip files and remove the folders if that was the only file there.

File a bug with IR too.

Thanks. I would assume that you tempfolder is the windows temp folder where the leftover folders are crerated. i would also asume that templaunchfolder is the temp folder which TU is using in it's current session. is this correct? if yes, how can i identify this folder? is the a TU reference var?

LUA vars

_TempFolder
_SourceFolder


Session Vars

%TempFolder%
%SourceFoder%


Sadly; there is not direct "temp launch folder" variable as there is in SUF...
So you would need to use the TempFolder and search for folders matching _ir_tu2_temp_*

Hope that helps.

Don't forget to file a bug with IR....
