History

#1 Updated by Maximilian Krambach almost 8 years ago

related to #14517 . The Geoprocessing Toolbox tries to run algorithms with the settings "1" or "0" each time the search of the toolbox is used, resulting in a null byte output.

#2 Updated by Alain FERRATON almost 8 years ago

May be, but it's not necessarily linked .
not the same directory as # 14517

#3 Updated by Maximilian Krambach almost 8 years ago

The issue in #14517 leaves the "1" file in whatever directory QGIS is started from, whenever the toolbox is used (In the other bug thread I just started qgis from a strange location, but I checked for the offending files and they're in every directory recently used with qgis)
Could you delete the file while QGIS is running, use the toolbox (just typing a letter in the search) and check if it reappears? If so, it's probably the same bug, which seems to be fixed for the next version.

#4 Updated by Alain FERRATON almost 8 years ago

You are right.
the file will appear when you type a letter in the search, but also leaving qgis without using the Toolbox.
