It is a bug. The Disk Full Trigger is checked against a different drive. That will get fixed soon.

Thank you for the report and helping us getting to the bottom of it.

Yes, that is the file I´m trying to open.

Disk Full Trigger was set to the maximum of 10240 MB.

I´ve discovered the following: As soon as I set the Disk Full Trigger to a smaller value (e.g. 3000 MB), I can open the file without a problem. Is this behavior intended?

Hello JonasD27,

Thank you for the details.

To confirm, is this the .ppk2 file you are trying to open?

Could you please also share what is the Disk full trigger set to at the moment/when the issue occurs?

Hi, Thank you for the questions.

The ppk2 file is 684KB.

I´ve installed Power Profiler on C-Drive. There´s about 8.3GB space available.

I´ve chosen my D-Drive as a temporary directory, there´s about 167GB available.

As soon as I try to load the ppk2 file, an error occurs (see screenshot).

Here´s the log dump:

Hello JonasD27,

Our sincere apologies. Look like there was some communication mistakes and the progress was stuck for a long time.

Unfortunately, changing the install directory is not possible.

Our developers have a few questions:

What is the size of the ppk2 file you are trying to load?
What is the disk space available on the disk you installed nRF Connect for Desktop?
What is the disk space available on the disk where your temp folder is?
When is the error happening? A screenshot or record would be very helpful.

The .ppk2 file contains compressed data, so the application might need a lot more space to load a file. The space requires could easily be more than x5.5 times the file size.

Best regards,

Hieu
