This is fixed in Rhino 8src5. This happens when you start multiple Rhino instances at the same time.

Hmm, I will need steps to reproduce - Each log file is opened with a process id of the running Rhino. I have not seen two Rhino instances being run with the same process ID. That is something that is globally unique to the machine being run on, determined by the operating system.

5

I just opened a file and that error popped up. Haven’t had it happen before yet.

6

Right, my point is that for that to happen Windows should start two Rhino instances with the same process id.

Well, I’ll try to go over the code and see if there is something I missed.

Logged RH-81208 Log file access problem while starting Rhino

A collueague of mine has the same issue. I could ask for log files if that’s useful?

You need to make sure you’re on Rhino 8.6

10

Sorry @nathanletwory. Just had this pop up again.

(8.6.24101.5001, 2024-04-10)

11

Hmm, the date of the file is 16th of April, 2024. Does this mean you have still an instance running that you started back then?

12

Yes…

13

Ok, then I have another location I need to protect, and I know where to make a fix for this. Thank you for the information, that was a crucial bit I missed.

edit: I have a fix ready, I’ll link you to a fresh build when one is ready (probably tomorrow)
