under special circumstances the information whether a file is attached in a SIC file might be incorrect

Summary

When saving a scan result the System Information Collector (SIC) might attach some files from the system in the zip file. Together with the file itself, some of its properties will be stored in order to easier access the information, when the scan result will later be viewed on another system. One of these properties is the information whether the file itself is attached or not. This isformation was created at the time of the scan, instead of the time of saving the scan result. Therefor, when the file was deleted in the meanwhile, it will be indicated as attached to the scan result, even though it is not (because it was deleted before saving the scan result).

Description

When saving a scan result the System Information Collector (SIC) might attach some files from the system in the zip file. Together with the file itself, some of its properties will be stored in order to easier access the information, when the scan result will later be viewed on another system. One of these properties is the information whether the file itself is attached or not. This isformation was created at the time of the scan, instead of the time of saving the scan result. Therefor, when the file was deleted in the meanwhile, it will be indicated as attached to the scan result, even though it is not (because it was deleted before saving the scan result).

Solution

An issue has been addressed where the inforamtion whether a file is attached to a saved SIC scan was created before the scan result was actually saved. Therefor the information might be incorrect at the time of saving the result.

After the fix, the information will be updated just before saving. So, in the saved scan file there will always be the correct information.
