Delete right side fails because file is open in WinMerge
Not sure its reproducible but here's what I did:
Windows 10 Pro, Left side is a local drive, right side is a network share on another Windows PC.
- Compare two big folders (maybe 500 GB) that should be identical.
- Unchecked View->Show Identical Items. Disabled tree view.
- Marked all files that differed, hit Delete->Right side. All good.
- Then went copy->left to right on all to update the right side.
- Then, with all these files still marked, I went "Refresh selected".
- Now I ended up with one file that's still different (other PC has RAM issues or something, hence bits get kaputted),
- So I wanted to repeat the process and hit Delete->right Side, but now I no longer could. Deleting fails with the Windows error "The action can't be completed because the file is open in WinMerge".
