File lock

Post by jadO »

I don't know if this is a bug or if it is intended or even required:

When Xnviemp is in thumbnail mode for video files and I try to change file attributes like timestamp from Windows Explorer, I'll get an error. Obviously XnviewMP has this file locked as long as it is selected in XnviewMP.
However when display mode is in detail mode, this restriction does not apply and I can change the file even if it is selected in XnviewMP.

So I wonder if it can be changed that change is possible always even if a file is selected in XnveiwMP and thumbnailing is on.
