Hi Donald

If I select a file that's simultaneously opened in an app and view the "File view" or "Preview" tabs, the file seems to be in use by TV3 from the apps view - therefore I can't save it aso.
It happened with a cad application, but when I tried to reproduce it with a word file it didn't do it.

Bug or as designed?

Thanks

Neither a bug nor designed. It's reality! To preview a file is to use it. At least in most cases. Pictures are read into memory and the file is freed immediately. But hex view of binaries keeps the file open until you explicitly close the file view (by unselecting the file).
