Windows Compatibility

[adrianliechti]

renameio.TempFile("", g.Path) has currently no Windows Implementation.

Since Save/Load is maybe not the primary use case, could you consider to use a best-effort approach in Windows? Or Maybe use another library? e.g. https://github.com/natefinch/atomic

Hi @adrianliechti,

Thanks for opening this issue and for the excellent suggestion of using natefinch/atomic. This is a great idea.

I'm currently working on a project that relies on hnsw for its core vector search capabilities, and we've also hit this exact wall when trying to build for Windows.

I've just completed a feasibility assessment, and I can confirm that replacing the dependency on renameio with natefinch/atomic is a highly viable and clean solution.

I am currently working on implementing this fix. I plan to create a pull request in the next day or two that will resolve this issue and add full Windows compatibility for the persistence features.

Just wanted to give everyone a heads-up to avoid duplicated effort. Stay tuned!
