B1: File renaming doesn't work

I've tried with several different situations, assuming it must be my own mistakes, but I can't get xnview to rename any files in the browser. I press F2, enter a new name (same ext), and get an error messagebox: "Error renaming the file." I ruled out spaces in the path, and can't figure out what else it might be. I can definitely tell you that I have 8.3 filenames turned off in ntfs, if that matters.
I'll try it on another system tomorrow to see if it's just mine, somehow.

For me, this bug has come back in Beta 3 with two folders...
C:\Downloads -> contains folders and images
C:\Video Clips -> contains video clips AVI, MOV etc.
Steps:
- Open XnView in Browser mode
- Click on Folder -> Right-Click Rename
- Add say a number to the end of the Folder name and we get "Error renaming the file"
- This only seems to happen with folders with images or videos other folders can be renamed with no problems.

Are you sure that you don't watch a video while renaming?

No, I wasn't watching any videos or displaying any pictures other than what is already in the preview pane.
I forgot to mention, I was trying to rename these folders in the Folders\Files area NOT the Folder Tree.
I just tried reproducing this bug on Win2000 Pro SP4 and I couldn't.

Found it!!!
Sorry this isn't a bug but a conflict between XnView and xplorer2 pro.
The fix is to use "Don't lock browsed folder" option in "xplorer2 pro"
