I changed the default directory for a calibration “Choose Save Path” to a folder in my Pictures folders. I named the profile “test5” and let it run, this is the first time I used that name. At the end of the calibration I got an error message that a file could not be copied, see attached screen shots. I also attached a screen shot showing that the .ti3 file was actually copied to the directory despite the error message. I do not always get this error, it SEEMS to only happen with xyz+LUT and not with single curve+matrix.

  1. 2016-02-12 22:06:08,130 Warning – file ‘C:\Users\M\Pictures\Display Calibrations\test5\test5.ti3’ could not be removed: [Errno 13] The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process: C:\Users\M\Pictures\Display Calibrations\test5\test5.ti3

    It seems another process has grabbed the file in exclusive mode. This is not a bug in DisplayCAL, but possibly in whatever 3rd party software is interfering (a virus scanner?)

    1.  

      Perhaps it is my backup software (Carbonite)  because it is looking for new files.  I will pause the backup and try again, although I have not had any similar problems with other programs.

  3. I’ve added code to 3.1.1 that will retry to update the file over the course of five seconds. In case the backup software is being sane, it shouldn’t hold a lock on the file for a prolonged period of time, and thus the original problem should be fixed.
