Application Builder: Give the possibility to save as another name when permission error on file.

Status: New

Hello, sometime when I debug an application I make a mistake by forgetting the application running and start a new build.

 

That cause an error at the end of the build process "Permission error" and the application is not written to disk.

 

But with some of my application it take 30 min to build and I loose all this time.

 

So it could be useful to give the possibility to save as another name the application at the end of the build process when we get permission error on the file.

 

Thank you

Either that, or have that step of the build as a transaction which allows us to retry it (i.e. a dialog saying "write permission error, do you want to try again?").

 

I run into this fairly often, but in my case, I'm not even running the application. Just having a Windows Explorer window open to the EXE folder is enough to cause this. I think it's because of indexing Windows does, but I'm not sure.
