Bug Description

I was trying to view an animation and kept typoing on the file name/path. Then I finally got it almost right, but typed "/bam" instead of ".bam" So I copied it into word to fix it instead of typing the REALLY long name again, word stuck spaces into, messed it up more.

In the command line, it said "pview.exe could not be accessed". I looked in the folder, and pview's file size was now 0 kb, and the little icon that was next to it before was gone. I

That's very odd, it's certainly not supposed to do this. Can you perhaps tell me more specifically how you invoked pview? The full command would help. And in which directory were you when you invoked it?

pview is not designed to write anything, only to read, so the only thing I can imagine is if you accidentally typed something like ">pview.exe" while in the "bin" directory, causing the shell to overwrite pview.exe.

But if that is not the case, I'd really like to be able to see this for myself so that I can try to understand what's going on.
