What's in this release

Orphan-rclone prevention and recovery. User report: a previous Pixelpipe (or rclone) session left an rclone.exe process alive holding a drive letter, so the next launch couldn't mount and showed "drive in use" forever.

Added:

  • Win32 Job Object with JOB_OBJECT_LIMIT_KILL_ON_JOB_CLOSE. Every rclone process Pixelpipe spawns is now assigned to this job. When Pixelpipe exits for ANY reason — clean Exit, crash, Task Manager kill, sign-out, OOM, debugger detach — Windows closes the job handle and forcibly terminates every rclone in it. This is the bulletproof Windows-native way to prevent orphans from this point forward.
  • Startup orphan scan (StartupOrphanCheck). On launch Pixelpipe lists running rclone.exe processes via WMI, matches their command lines against the drive letters of our profiles, and prompts to kill any matches: "Pixelpipe found N orphan rclone processes from a previous session. Kill them?". Covers users upgrading from a pre-v0.11.4 install whose orphans aren't in any job.
  • Tools / diagnostics → "Find / kill orphan rclone processes" for manual triggering at any time.
  • "Drive in use" dialog is now three buttons: Yes (find and kill the orphan rclone for this drive, then mount), No (try to mount anyway — usually fails immediately, kept for advanced users), Cancel. After a kill, re-checks the drive letter and bails with a clear message if something else (Explorer window, third-party app) is still holding it.
  • System.Management.dll added to the build/test reference set for WMI command-line lookup.
  • New unit test CommandLineMentionsDrive (43 tests total).

Downloads

  • Pixelpipe.exe — standalone tray app (drop it on your Desktop and run, no install required)
  • Pixelpipe-Windows-x64.zip — portable bundle (exe + README + LICENSE + docs)
  • Pixelpipe-Setup.exe — optional Inno Setup installer, when the installer build succeeds
  • SHA256SUMS.txt — SHA-256 checksums for the downloads above

Run Pixelpipe normally, not as Administrator. First launch will prompt for rclone + WinFsp setup.
