revMoveFolder on Windows

[Ralph DiMola]

Beyond the obvious of having files open in the folder could it be that if
you trying to move LC's current defaultfolder it causes a problem on
Windows?

Subject: revMoveFolder on Windows

I have an app that allows users to create documents and store then in a
specified folder. Via a preference setting they can move the folder to a
location of their choosing. I use revMoveFolder to do this. You can also
move the folder where you want and then drag and drop it on the preference
stack to establish the path to where it is.

This works fine on Mac but not on Windows - it fails. In fact when the app
is open and I try to manually move the folder, Windows tells me "The action
can't be completed because the folder is open in another program."

I understand that if a file was open by the app that this would come into
play but how is a folder open to another program? Is there a way around
this?
