I don't know if this is a bug but it's really annoying. While working in Windows Explorer and the Preview Pane to organize pictures I'm not able to rename folders or files right away. I have to wait about a minute otherwise I got an error: "The action can't be completed because the folder or a file in it is open in another program. Close the folder or file and try again". Is there anyway to solve it besides not using the Preview Pane? I find useful to preview things but not if it's slowing something else like renaming. Thank You!

Which build of Seven are you using ? I've no problem on the RC for images, movies, text..

Build 7100 The problems is when I'm looking pictures on the folder and then I decide to rename anything. It's like the file it's blocked. Try looking pictures, open them and then try to rename the folder.

I have experienced a simular thing, I just add it to this topic :) When in preview, you can't rotate the picture either ; it says it's in use from another program... So the preview seems to lock the files for both cases ...

I can both rotate and rename the files... however if I try to do too much too fast, then yes, it will say it's in use. You have to let the preview catch up with what you are doing.

Maybe it works for you ... but doesn't work here ... I especially tried it slow this time... * Started the computer * Waited nearly one minute after the desktop was show (and HD-activity light wasn't blinking very much anymore) * Opened the folder with pictures * Pushed right-mouse button after a while (10-20 sec) * Selected "rotate clockwise" after half a minute * Got a message box titled "Rotation" ; giving the message: " You cannot rotate this image. The file might be in use or open in another program, or the file or folder might be read-only" I'm administrator on the machine, the file wasn't read-only, but the folder was. Modified the "root-folder", and applied this to all subfolders and files ... But the file still refuses to rotate with the same message ... Even in 'detail view' the file-rotation doesn't cooperate... still the same result after hiding 'detail pane' and 'preview pane' as well ... so maybe my problem isn't as thought, or at least not like mentioned in the title ... Than I removed the only program I installed myself, to make sure this one wasn't doing strange things. But still no luck ... the file doesn't rotate ... Maybe the 'preview' isn't the problem, but still no luck in rotating though.... Further experiments pinpoint the problem to the fact that on the pictures I loaded on the computer were only having 'read / execute' permissions on the file for the 'Users-group'. As soon I change this to 'Full control' it seems to work... But as I am administrator, and the administrators-group has 'full control' this shouldn't happen ... If this operation should be protected, a message requiring permission should be raised i.s.o. the current error ...
