Overwriting plugins

[djk]

I've found strange behaviour of TC when I sometimes copy a new version of a lister plugin.
TC asks me if it should overwrite the existing one (which is loaded, I've used it before and not unloaded it) and... it seems to copy it - there is no message it cannot do it. But in fact it does nothing. It doesn't copy it.

That's indeed strange - you should get an overwrite error because open dlls cannot be overwritten. What operating system do you use?

You are right, usually I get an overwrite error but in this case not. First I thought it was my mistake but I've noticed it several times so it repeats
I've noticed it on WinXP Pro.

Which plugin was this? It may be a problem with UPX-packed DLLs (UPX is a DLL and EXE packer).

As I rememebr I've experienced it with several ones but I don't rememeber now which ones.
Now, I've noticed it with baseview (overwriting 1.0 with 1.1)

Modified: It also works this way on WinNT
