Hi @antonpaloka,

AppData\Local\Temp\FLX*.tmp is "only" used for registry imports. All other files are extracted as FLX*.tmp into their real destination folder, and then renamed to their real name.

We could consider using another pattern/location/extension for the .REG import? I've also been debating an option to skip the intermediate FLX*.tmp files for non-.REG imports, and immediately write to the target file. Maybe that would help?
