Conflicts with file manager/explorer in Windows 11
Maybe someone can help me solve this problem on Windows 11 pro where XnView conflicts with the Windows explorer: XnView MP can't rename a folder or file but can view it, and when I open the folder in windows explorer it can't rename the folder or file either. The only solution is to close XnView MP and then reopen it. I can then rename the file or folder in either XnView or Explorer afterwards. This seems new. Is this a permissions error, or how does it happen? What is the fix for this?

Re: Conflicts with file manager/explorer in Windows 11
Is it possible, that you try to rename a folder, which is already opened in windows explorer?
Then the folder is locked by windows explorer and you can not rename it in xnviewmp.

If I open a folder in XnViewMP and the scanning of files is in progress, you can not rename the same folder.
After the scan process is finished, you can do it.
