VideoUltimate v4.5.5

Version 4.5.5 - September 26, 2025

• Improved: The default value for GleamTechConfiguration.TemporaryFolder will now be [AppData Temporary Folder]
  if current user has read/write access, if not it will be [System Temporary Folder].

  This change is done so that developer is only concerned about write permissions to [AppData Temporary Folder]
  when publishing to production and not system temporary folders such as C:\Windows\Temp.
  This way, everything will be on the table i.e. all generated files (AssemblyResolver files, cache files, log files) will be in a single place.
  Files from old system temporary folder will be migrated/moved to this new location on application startup (if has write access).

  [AppData Temporary Folder] can be different for different environments:

  • For ASP.NET Core apps, the resolved result of ~/App_Data:
    • [AppBase]\wwwroot\App_Data\Temporary
  • For ASP.NET Classic apps, the resolved result of ~/App_Data:
    • [AppBase]\App_Data\Temporary
  • For Console or other non-web apps:
    • [AppBase]\AppData\Temporary

  [System Temporary Folder] can be different for different environments:

  • For ASP.NET Core apps, the result of Path.GetTempPath() which
    depends on "TMP", "TEMP" and "USERPROFILE" environment variables:
    • %WINDIR%\Temp\GleamTech\[AppName]-[AppHash]
    • %LOCALAPPDATA%\Temp\GleamTech\[AppName]-[AppHash]
      (if "Load User Profile" is enabled for AppPool in IIS)
  • For ASP.NET Classic apps:
    • %WINDIR%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\Temporary ASP.NET Files\[AppName]\[AppHash]\GleamTech
    • %WINDIR%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Temporary ASP.NET Files\[AppName]\[AppHash]\GleamTech
      (if 32-bit AppPool)
    • %LOCALAPPDATA%\Temp\Temporary ASP.NET Files\vs\[AppHash]\GleamTech
      (when debugging in Visual Studio)
  • For Console or other non-web apps, the result of Path.GetTempPath() which
    depends on "TMP", "TEMP" and "USERPROFILE" environment variables:
    • %LOCALAPPDATA%\Temp\GleamTech\[AppName]-[AppHash]
    • %WINDIR%\Temp\GleamTech\[AppName]-[AppHash]
  • For apps running on unix-like platforms:
    • /tmp/GleamTech/[AppName]-[AppHash]

• Improved: ImpersonationContext is improved to support multi-threads and async threads.
  Ensured ImpersonationInfo and LogonCredential do not lose access tokens (re-cache when necessary).

• Improved: TemporaryFolder, FileCache and DbProvider will now do two tries for access, if first one fails,
  will try again by reverting possible impersonation.

• Changed: Removed legacy GleamTechConfiguration.AlphaFileSystemEnabled property.
