Raw View =Locked File on List View Select -- Prevents other apps updating file

Post by Zardoz2293 »

When "Raw View" (tab) is selected.

XY is locking the selected file (in the List View) which prevents said file from being deleted in programs such as WinRAR.

Does not occur with "Properties", "Version", "Meta", "Preview", "Tags", "Find Files", or "Report"

Thank you.

Yes, Raw View locks the file. This is how it works. It enables it to view ultra-large files ultra-quickly.
