Hi

I made a jpeg file entitled "img_1.jpg" and it has created another file called "img_1_tmp2002895480" and I cannot get it off the desktop.

I get the following error upon dragging it to the trash.

"The item “img_1_tmp2002895480” can’t be moved to the Trash because it can’t be deleted."

Any ideas how I can get rid?!

I had this happen a couple of times after upgrading to Lion with CaptureNX2 software. I had to reboot to get them off my desktop. Since doing this a couple of times they have not re-appeared when using the software again to edit other images.

Hope this helps.
