#409 File extensions of saved files have numbers appended to them

[Rebecca Perry]

I am using ufraw-batch and calling it from a Python script (minimal example below). I am converting hundreds of images. If I am browsing the output directory in Windows Explorer while running the script, about half of the saved images will not end in .tif as specified, but .tif4460 -- with a different 4- or 5-digit number each time. See the attached image. In the set I am looking at right now, I see: .tif7868 .tif100036 .tif9132 .tif4866.

I wish I could work on a Linux machine, but unfortunately I cannot. Is this file-naming caused by Windows hogging the new files to catalog them and make thumbnails before they are finished being written to? Is there any way to fix that behavior from either within UFRaw or as a system setting within Windows?

I have IrfanView associated with the .tif extension on my machine.

UFRaw 0.19.2
Windows7 Enterprise
Intel Xeon CPU E5-2650 v3
64.0 GB RAM
64-bit OS

Please let me know if I can provide any more helpful details.

Thank you,
Rebecca

I suspect the problem is related to these bugs in Exiv2: http://dev.exiv2.org/issues/1227 and http://dev.exiv2.org/issues/1222 (UFraw uses Exiv2 for handling EXIF data).

To test this you can replace --exif with --noexif in your Python script. Please report if it makes a difference.

Another question: Are the files on a network og cloud drive? If they are please place them on the local hard drive and test if it works.

Am on a computer now. The file seems to be saved correctly then saved again with the PID appended to the file name. This is on windows with ver 0.19.2
