Whilst attempting to recreate someone else's issue with an empty/zero size TDMS file, I came across something I'd never seen before. Datafinder appears to delete empty TDMS files in indexed locations. I have My Documents as one of my indexed folders, which is one of the defaults. From the Windows Explorer shell, create a new text file and rename it empty.txt. If Datafinder is indexing, it disappears after a little while. If Datafinder isn't indexing (so if I pause it), the file survives. Resume Datafinder again and it vanishes. If the file isn't 0 kB in size, Datafinder seems to leave it alone. I can't think of a practical reason why I'd want to create an empty TDMS placeholder file, but I certainly don't think Datafinder should be doing this. Anyone ever come across this?

Awesome, thanks for the update!

Like you said, it doesn't affect me directly and I can't think of any reason why I would have noticed it in normal usage 🙂
