Weird thing with the addon, disk space

[hansem]

Hi all,

First of all, love the addon. The problem for me recently is that litterally over night, the

ZygorGuidesViewer.lua.tmp file in my WTF Wow folder shot to an incredible 668 gigs of space, its now blocks nearly my entire hard drive.

What exactly is this file?

Thanks in advance

668 gigs? With a g? That's absolutely massive.
I would ask you to check the contents of the file to see what's in it, but that will require a third party application that can handle large files.

Here's an article that lists a few.

I double-checked the client's code, it does not write to that file, ever.

That temp file grows in size like that when you do not exit the game correctly. When you just close the game window or Alt + F4 to exit the game then the game is not able to clean up the temp files properly and that causes them to keep growing instead of being wiped between each gaming session. Feel free to delete that file when you are not playing and to prevent it from growing large like that again please make sure when you want to quit the game you press the Escape key to bring up the game menu and click on the button to exit the game.

Thank you very much for the help.

I do not usually use alt-f4 to close Wow by I admit that I let it time out quite often ( kicking for AFK ).

Weird thing is, I went to download that program that you suggested ( EMU ) and I launch and log off Wow regularly and the lua file was back to a normal 1557 Ko.

Seems it was bloat or just a bug that was fixed by logging normally out of Wow

Thanks again
