RB2006r2 on OS 10.4.7
I have an application that takes a text file that is passed to
it, runs it through a unix command which generates a new text
file (in the TemporaryItemsFolder) with modified content. My
application then adds a resource fork to this new text file, and
passes it to another application which immediately picks it up
from a watched folder. The original file is deleted.
Whenever I reboot the machine, I am getting a TON of these new
files mentioned above in a Rescued Items folder in the Trash.
This is even though the files have long since done their function
and been deleted by the application they are handed to.
Any ideas as to why OS X keeps "rescuing" these files?
Good grief, I haven't seen this bug in about 5 years. It dates
back to the days of 9.0.x, where the Temporary Items folder would
not be emptied if the computer crashed; instead the "temporary"
files would be moved to a Rescued Items folder in the Trash. This
resulted in a progressive loss of disk space and was fixed in 9.1.
However, it can still happen in certain circumstances when running
Classic in OS X.
Nope - strictly running OS X. Classic is not even installed.
Is your OS X application perhaps using a static path for Temporary
Items - such as Volume(0).Child("Temporary Items")? Alternatively,
are you booting OS 9 on this machine?
See above. OS 9 is nowhere near this machine.
I have done a lot of checking in my code to make sure that I am not
leaving the files or resource forks open or something. It doesn't
appear that I am. These files are being created in the Temporary
Items folder, getting resource forks added to them, and then being
moved out of the Temporary Items folder to another location. I
think I'll try using a different folder and see if that solves the
issue.

I am getting these files upon almost every reboot of my Mac 10.4.6
My app on which I am currently working does not use Temp items in any
way, nor has the Mac crashed or used Classic.
I think these are RB generated files which are being left in Temp
Items folder upon quitting RB
