TestStand 2.0 Engine deleting sequence files on shutdown?

[pdobratz]

TestStand 2.0.1

We're running into quite a bizaar problem where TestStand sequence files seem to vanish from the filesystem after exiting TestStand. We haven't been able to reliably reproduce the problem, but occasionally after we run some tests either using the operator interface or sequence editor, either the sequence file we were running, or another sequence file in that same directory gets deleted. Has anyone else seen anything like this?

That sounds like a very unique issue. I have a few questions for you.
Is it only one sequence file that gets deleted? If the sequence file you are running does not get deleted, but another one does, is it always the same files every time that gets deleted?

If we can get this nailed down to a pattern, we can probably figure out
what is causing this issue. One other thing that would be worthwhile
checking out is if this problem is limited to just one computer or
multiple computers. Is your testing station limited to just the one
computer? If not, does this problem happen on multiple machines?

Another thing you might want to try is to put each sequence file in a different directory. If you have the sequence files in different directories, does the problem still occur?
