Hey -- I guess this is the only place to bring up bugs for Soft now?!?
Okay, Soft now starts something called MediaFileParserServer.exe whenever any sort of movie file is present in a scene. If you start a render and then abort it, for some reason, even though there's no obvious reason for an executable that deals with input formats to care about output images, you can't delete the stub file that an aborted render often leaves behind; Windows thinks MediaFileParserServer.exe is using that stub file. You can't kill the MediaFileParserServer.exe process without putting Soft in an unstable state, so you have to kill Soft in order to release the lock on the stub file. I don't recall ever seeing this executable in the process viewer -- is it new for 2014? My workaround will be to not use movie files, which will be inconvenient as a lot of image sequence assets from my clients get delivered to me as .mov or .avi.
