#3 Windows Locked Files and Locked File Filter crashes

[Ron Schnatzmeyer]

I was going to put Areca on a family member's Windows 11 computer but I was running into a lot of crashes due to "files in use by another process". I tried to set the "Locked File Filter" in the target to bypass locked files, but setting the filter crashes as well as soon as I select it and click save.

"26-05-19 11:58 - ERROR - java.lang.ClassCastException: class com.application.areca.filter.LockedFileFilter cannot be cast to class com.application.areca.filter.FilterGroup (com.application.areca.filter.LockedFileFilter and com.application.areca.filter.FilterGroup are in unnamed module of loader 'app')"

Full log attached.

Note: Setting this filter on Linux does not fail like it does on Windows.

Hi Ron,
I just reproduced the error described on Windows 11 with JRE 25 and JDK 21, 17, and 8, all from Temurin 64 bits, with Areca version 8.2.5.
I'll take a look and see what it could be.
