We use Citrix for corporate storage files.
Each time someone open files from this location it creates unwanted *.rhl files polluting the server.
Is it possible to stop it or self-clean after closing the Rhino session?
normally it should be deleted after the file is closed. You can also disable locking files with the advanced setting Rhino.Options.FileSettings.EnableFileLocking
Note that this setting is exposed in the regular settings dialog:
→ Rhino Options > Files
-wim

Thanks guys!
My files MUST be write-protected to prevent from overwriting. It is used by many and I have to make sure their appearance is always the same upon opening.
From the first tick box: Should teh file remain locked
is creating rhl files unavoidable?
Yes, but these should normally be deleted when the file is closed cleanly. Does that part work if the file is a local one on your hard drive?

Yes, I’ve never seen this kind of files locally on my HD.
just to be sure, this is not what the .rhl file does. It just tells Rhino that when you open a file that is already open in another session or computer and that it will open as read-only.
OK. Thanks for the info.
Citrix has generally been a problem for Rhino users. In some cases, even blocking Rhino from starting up.
Good to know. I will be monitoring it closely.
