[Xerte-dev] Re: .quarantine and .tmb files

Yeah, just on the same page!

I can see they are created when you open the media browser to import media into a project. They are not deleted again. They are only empty folders so I don't suppose it matters if they are there. I am surprised I didn't notice this previously though, I'm sure I would have noticed if they were being created - but I've been surprised before...

I can successfully duplicate a project with them, I'm uncertain why the user couldn't (suspect permissions, but unsure why that seems different for me). I suppose it would be good to clean up after the media browser closes if they have the potential to cause issues.

Google is your friend ;-) https://www.theturngroup.com/joomla-forum/topic/13-solution-what-are-the-quarantine-and-tmb-folders-in-my-joomla-images-folder/

We use the same media manager/uploader so suspect it has created them for some reason. Beyond that though I have no idea and haven't come across them in testing... Maybe Tom or Ron has seen them but i'd then be surprised that it hasn't caused Ron some problem in his testing...

Subject: [Xerte-dev] .quarantine and .tmb files

Just had a user who couldn't duplicate a project: on inspection the project's media folder had two sub folders, both empty, called .quarantine and .tmb. Deleting these folders allowed the project to be duplicated again.

Can anyone shed any light on where these came from?
