Bug Report

Current Behavior A clear and concise description of the behavior.

OneDir-Compiled IVyTools will not extract frames if run from a folder "tracked" by OneDrive. It seems that calls to FFMPEG that "write" files to temp memory are getting blocked by the system.

Expected behavior/code A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen (or code).

I think that the Windows System may lock the OneDrive folder for read-only during runtime. FFMPEG is supposedly not writing anything to the directory, but I had the same issue with the MSI-installed version, where calls to FFMPEG to extract files from within the Program Files directory failed (no errors were raised). Moving FFMPEG to the writable ProgramData folder solved the issue for the MSI-installed version.

Two users reported that IVyTools v1.0.0.0 worked correctly once they ran it from a location that OneDrive did not monitor.
