Q: Black exec file flashed - what does it mean?
Hello!
This is first it has happened to me. Was was rotating big image file (3.5 MB, 2500 × 3504, scanned, saved from external HDD) and closed it, having it save the new position (it was on sideways previously). And suddenly, there was black file with some random numbers and letters I couldn't see quick enough to figure out if it was related to the picture. Only saw it likely had word "exec" in it.
So, could it have been related to the big image? I tried again to rotate it and nothing happened.
Is it normal to have black files with name "exec" in it appear suddenly on desktop, then disappear few seconds later? I can't seem to find good enough articles about how "exec" files act in Mac.
