I'm using AWB 6.2.1.0 on Wine. I'm trying to use 'External processing', but AWB deletes the I/O file before my program can open it. I've done some measurements and the I/O file only exists for about 10-15 ms before (presumably) AWB deletes it. Then after about 100-250 ms the program is called, but obviously it cannot open the file.
Should AWB delete the file? I think not, as the called program or script can just overwrite it.
Sorry, that's the version of AWB Updater. The AWB version is 6.2.1.0. Description edited.

I suspect the code under Wine is not well tested.
There was some different code added for Wine ~7 years ago - https://github.com/reedy/AutoWikiBrowser/commit/ede2f2c7fdaaae6deca9fd237a3a06c611c533c9
That change came from Wikipedia talk:AutoWikiBrowser/Mono and Wine#Wikipedia talk:AutoWikiBrowser/Mono and Wine. Maybe WaitForExit() works nowadays? Can't find much about it on the web.
