wuala proper graceful shutdown methods - (with) traybar icon missing Last reply on July 02, 2008 15:03.
sometimes wuala is missing its tray icon (win32). sometimes when auto-logon to windows xp (for example autologin with tools like powertoys/tweakui) is activated, the wuala trayicon cant be created/registered as the traybar (explorer.exe components or such) havent been started yet.
im not into win32 api details, but i think i remember that with at least winxp and later windows builds new methods and calls have been implemented into windows to recreated/redraw/register the tray icons and tray-related stuff in case explorer.exe / desktop crashes or restarts and things like that.
please make wuala work properly with the windows tray area or at least add a real quit/shutdown icon on the wuala logon window, as wuala can only be exited properly with rightclick on the traybaricon and "exit" there for example when wuala is logged out. when the traybar icon is missing, there is only the really unclean and hardcore killing way of the wuala.exe process left for quitting wuala, which isnt really nice i suppose.
also, wuala doesnt react properly to wm_quit message that i tried to send with process.exe tool from beyondlogic guys.
C:\>process -q wuala.exe
Command Line Process Viewer/Killer/Suspender for Windows NT/2000/XP V2.03

Sending PID 832 'wuala.exe' WM_CLOSE Message. Timeout is 60 seconds.
wuala.exe (PID 832) failed to respond to WM_CLOSE. Terminating Now.
Sending PID 832 'wuala.exe' WM_CLOSE Message. Timeout is 60 seconds.
wuala.exe (PID 832) has been closed successfully.
so maybe you guys can add proper wm_close message handling of the wuala main app, or fix the traybar/trayicon handling or add a real shutdown/exit function also to the logon-window or the main wuala window too.
would be great thanks. -

huge security risk: loads of files in %temp%\wuala\ lately - (original unencrypted files in there) Last reply on May 21, 2008 11:41.
hi there,
during my recent upload tests via filesystem integration method (see other thread http://getsatisfaction.com/wuala/topi... ) i somewhen realized that there are hugeloads of files in %temp%\wuala\ which wasnt the case in former builds of wuala.
there are also two directories in there (download and upload)
in the actual %temp%\wuala\ folder there seem to be a very big number of "original" files which i was trying to upload into the wuala store it seems.
the filenames have been changed somewhat to
hexnumber-originalfilename.extension
example:
f3edab22-mypicture.jpg
(hexnumber is maybe some hash/crc/crc32 or something)
the files are unencrypted, so i can actually use them with the appropriate application as they all hold the actual data (pictures, and so on....)
is this some bug? anyway related to my other thread? i suppose this is a huge security risk as even with reboots, wuala clients shutdown/restart these folders dont seem to go away or dont get empied nor cleaned up and the files can be seen by "anybody" who has access to the physical machine.
this is really weird. anyone else having this behaviour? win32/winxp that is. wuala426
