Subject: NDPluginFile question

Hello,

I have implemented a new NDPluginFile class for a specialized file format the we need.
Everything works fine besides one strange thing that the last file in a series of captured streams is not closed.
I want to take 100 images, each in a separate file. Therefor I set the # Captures to 1 and set the Mode to Stream.
If I now click Capture, a new file is created for the next image, the Next file # get incremented and the capture finishes.
If I now try to open the file its not yet possible to read it because its not closed yet.
Reading thru the code of NDPluginFile.cpp I believe that the file should be closed by calling closeFileBase which calls closeFile of my derived class.
Is that the expected behavior?

Regards

Jörn
