Hi All,
–Explorer.exe behaviour–
I am developing an application which is to run in a Colibri VF61 board. The application is a long running process and it creates a day wise log file. Every time it logs a message in the log file (.txt file), it opens the file, appends the message in the file and close it. It may write in every 2-3 seconds interval. When I keep the folder open, that contains the log file, i can see in the explorer window that numerous files are being created with the same name (perhaps for each append) flooding my explorer window. No problem at all. I right click on the explorer window, click the refresh option, all temp files go vanished and only a single file of that name shows. Then again temp files of same name begins to flood, I click the ‘refresh’ option and so on.
Now I keep the application running and also keep the log folder open and let it run for 16 hours (without any refresh click). After that period of time, I see in the Colibri Monitor 1.7 that the explorer.exe CPU usage is 82.7% . The system goes hanged and very slow and I could not close the folder window. Though the other applications, including mine, show normal CPU usage.
Do you know where is my fault? Did i skip any important setting of my OS?
Now, I am again repeating my experiment, but this time keeping all windows closed except the Colibri Monitor.
With regards,
