SimpleIDE Library Bug

Hi all.
We have found a serious bug with library archiving. The bug exists in SimpleIDE versions having Simple Libraries up to 0-9-40-x.
Please do not open and zip any library projects in the "Documents\SimpleIDE\Learn\Simple Libraries" folder.
Zipping library projects will crash SimpleIDE and and leave a folder in the library that can't be removed from your system.
I can't apologize enough to anyone that may have already encountered this problem.
I'm having to deal with the issue too. That is, I have some folders on my system that I can not delete.
Sincerely,
--Steve

Let me know when you have something to test on Mac OS X. I'll add that to my standard SimpleIDE test cases...

What format is your HDD - is it FAT32 ???
I'm using Window's 7 NTFS.
Thanks for your support.
This may not be the issue you are seeing but I will mention it as food for thought just in case.
When I was trying to install 0-9-40 I went to rename my present SimpleIDE folder and the OS
said no way another app has that folder open. However I did not see any app open .
I was able to use WinZip to make a backup of the folder so I said ok I will delete it and again the
OS said no way.
The answer was that SnagIt my screen capture app which has a piece of itself loaded always to watch
for print Screen was the app that had attached itself to the folder because I had made several captures
and stored the images somewhere in the SimpleIDE folder structure. Because the image files were
still in the SnagIt Image Editor list, SnagIT was protecting the path to those images.
Closing SnagIt completely and again I could rename the folder or do anything I wanted to it.
Windows 7 Pro.
Maybe something has a hold of the folders on your pc and it is not obvious that it does.

I'm actually crashing SimpleIDE on MAC OS X when I try to ZIP a library project. I know I had tested this previously (probably with 9-29) and it worked.
Steps:
1. Copy/Duplicate any of the library projects the "Documents\SimpleIDE\Learn\Simple Libraries" folder
2. Open the library's project in SimpleIDE vers: 0-9-40
3. Compile the project with Memory Model: CMM Main RAM, Optimization: -Os Size (it succeeds)
4. Attempt to ZIP the project
Result (a crash in: Thread 0: 0 com.Parallax.SimpleIDE 0x0000000100035177 MainSpinWindow::flattenDstProject(QString, QString) + 635):
I've added some guard code that should keep the problem from recurring. Meanwhile, I'll keep eating dog-food.

I've been looking at flattenDstProject ... and surrounding code for a while tonight.
Thanks Dennis!
