Creating a New Folder in PixInsight
« on: 2015 February 07 08:00:08 »
I created a new folder in the Save As dialog and PixInsight could not save the image in that folder because it said it did not exist.  I went to file explorer to delete the folder and it said it couldn't find it either.  I rebooted the computer with no change.  Now I am stuck with a folder that I can see but cannot use or delete.  See the attached screen print from when I try to delete the folder.  This is a Win 7 machine.  Any suggestions?

    On windows you may some times have to press f5 so that windows realizes that you really created a folder...

That didn't seem to help.  Is there something I did wrong when creating the folder in PixInsight or is this a possible bug?  Regardless, I would still like to delete the folder.

I was able to go back into PixInsight and went to File/Open and navigated to the folder that contained the offending folder, did a right click and delete and I was able to successfully delete the folder.
