Error on startup

[Michael Coorlim]

Using launcbox 12.14 on Win 11, occurs on startup every time.

The process cannot access the file 'D:\Dropbox\LaunchBox\Metadata\Temp\fd4d14d3-d8c8-4ee9-9e35-eb8b6918237d' because it is being used by another process.

Can you try deleting your LaunchBox\Metadata\Temp folder while LaunchBox is closed? Somehow, something (probably another app) is locking that folder.

Tried deleting the Temp folder to no avail; it is recreated and then Dropbox accesses it as it's changed. Turning off Dropbox synching will probably prevent this error, but it'd be nice if there was a way to catch the problem without terminating the program and just trying again a few seconds later.

I see. Dropbox used to work as expected, but lately they’ve been screwing everything up. File deletes are never supposed to just be ignored or refused like this, but that’s what Dropbox does these days. It’s really extremely unfortunate. Honestly I don’t understand why they didn’t just stick with older versions that actually worked correctly…
