Strange use of Temp folders and no deletion of them
I'm using Wuala Version PC 149 and confused about the behaviour of Wuala using Temp folders and that these folders never get cleaned after usage. here some details when I move some files from my local partition, for example drive e:\, to my network drive of wuala w:\:
- copy two video files from E:\... to one folder in wuala on drive w:\
- first wuala copies files to my local profile temp path "Dokumente und Einstellungen\Frank\Lokale Einstellungen\Temp\Wuala Temp" and adds some more data in "Dokumente und Einstellungen\Frank\Lokale Einstellungen\Temp\Wuala Temp\Upload"
- then wuala encrypts these files and stores a copy in the local data cache folder "...\Local2\Large..."
- after this wuala begins to upload the files to the wuala servers
- after uploading all files NO CLEARING begins of temp folders in local profile temp path "Dokumente und Einstellungen\Frank\Lokale Einstellungen\Temp\Wuala Temp"
- so for now I've my data THREE times on my local hard disk
- orginial file
- file in temp folder
- file in local data cache folder
I think, that this is confusing and a little bit to much on storing files.
- Why does Wuala not automatically clean his own Temp folders after uploading, restart etc.?
- Can I delet the Temp folders without any problems?
Regards
Frank

Inappropriate?yes this is partically true. On my mac, streaming download are stored in the temp folder and get not deleted after the stream was closed. Also some times some fragments from an upload or maintenance task are still in temp/../Upload/ after the task has finished. But I haven ́t seen a copy of my uploaded files in temp so far. :( Hope it will be fixed soon.
You can delete the files in the temp folder as long as all uploads are finished und wuala is not running. -
Inappropriate?Same on linux ...
It's a little annoying when you never restart your machine .. so temp is never automatically cleared :/ -
Inappropriate?I got an answer von Wuala Support: at the moment this behaviour is "work as designed" and Wuala let the os decide to remove temp files.
In my opinion not very clever programming. An application has to remove its use files on his own, and not to wait until the os or someone else removes them. :-(
So I'm waiting and hoping that the next releases of Wuala will get a better file handling and remove their temporary used temp files. -
Inappropriate?Ich kann es nicht glauben, dass Wuala einen derart unprofessionellen und chaotischer Umgang mit den temporären Dateien pflegt und täglich Hunderte von Megabyte Müll auf Dauer auf der Platte hinterlässt -- es ist aber wohl so.
Alleine schon dieser eine Punkt hat das bisher makellose, geniale Image von Wuala für mich ganz gewaltig beschädigt. Sowas kann einfach nicht sein und muss schnellstens gründlich behoben werden, bevor es sich herumspricht.
Vielen Dank bereits für entsprechende Abhilfe,
