not always, I think it may depend on the file size. As if Xnview is trying to process it and then it cannot be deleted.

XnView has been good at releasing files
If you have the preview p[em and the video is in it the file stays locked. C Licking n something else will release the file. If it stays locked and this is a continuing problem, install lock hunter or unlocker which will unlock the file when you need it

Nice if this issue can be looked at.
I confirm this is a recurring issue and only way is to interrupt activity, close XnView MP and get back at work :(
Today again I encountered this painful situation again, after having done some changes in a mix of pictures/video it was impossible to rename the folder (I wanted to use the folder name to run a Batch rename).

Even after having moved the XnView browser focus to the parent/parent folder or a completely different branch, Process Explorer shows xnviewmp.exe holding a handle on the folder I wanted to rename. LockHunter shows the same.

Then tell LockHunter to unlock it! :mrgreen:
