Empty folders are at root at conversion

[petsam]

Please detail your question or problem in as much detail as possible:
When the conversion starts, an empty folder is created at root folder with random name for each file converted, i.e.:

Code: Select all

/-c39bf5c0b8947e25-0000000000
/7-05e57800cef9815f-0000000000
/}-bce31da60366f3e5-0000000000

etc., with user:user ownership, so I can easily delete them. It creates a big mesh, to say the least...

Tell us about your environment. What version of HandBrake? What version of Linux / Unix are you running. etc.

HandBrake doesn't create any such file. It's possible one of the system support libraries associated with gtk, glib, dbus, etc could be doing this. But HandBrake doesn't *ask* that any file be created. Also, typically HandBrake wouldn't have permissions to create files in your root directory. Only root should be able to do this. If your root directory has proper permissions set, then files getting written here would indicate some system service with root permissions is creating them.

These are not created by HandBrake, but I get them on my system as well. They are created when I run dvdbackup here, so presumably one of its support libraries.

Thanks for the info. Now I know what to tell the next person that has this problem
