Description edjon2000 2011-01-18 22:16:02 UTC

Product Version = NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201101100000)
Operating System = Windows XP version 5.1 running on x86
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.6.0_23
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 19.0-b09

I have noticed this several times recently, a seemingly random appearance of project files in the Project root, they seem to be exact copies of recently modified files that I have been working on, I can't really pin down what is causing this issue but, when it happens, these pseudo copies are exactly the same as the most recent updated files that I have just saved, even though the originals are saved in their proper location with the latest changes applied.

The other confusing thing is that they seem to appear every now and then and then the issue wont happen for several hours, sometimes a day or so later .

I wish you luck with this one.

Hello again I have just noticed that when these files appear it is actually in the route of whatever dierectory I happen to be working in, so for example if I am working on files that appear in my "/application/my_folder" directory or "/application/some_other_folder" directory they will always appear in the "/application" directory in other words one level above.

Jarda, could we use some logging from FS ?

Try to run with -J-Dorg.netbeans.modules.masterfs.watcher.level=FINEST and attach log file.
