Moving directories with locked files in it

Hello,

i noticed a behaviour that apparently changed from 6.x version to v7:
when moving complete directory-structures which have a locked file in one of the "deeper" directories (e.g. because of a loaded application), in v6, all the directories/files except for the locked one was moved to the new location. In v7, the complete structure is unmoveable and i'm getting an error message (german): "Fehler: kann [Ziel] nicht schreiben! Entfernen Sie den eventuell vorhandenen Schreibschutz!" (in english: "Error: Can't write [dest]!" or similar). By directly selecting the deeper directories and moving them separatly, all works as exspected.

Apart from that: Thank's for this great piece of software. It's one of my "Windows's essentials"!

regards
Mario

I will try to reproduce that, thanks.

Could you reproduce the bug?

No, I could not reproduce it. I tried to move a directory struture with a running program in it. I also tried to move a directory structure with a file opened in a program which locks its files (write.exe). In both cases I could move the rest of the structure, both within the same drive and to another drive.

Can you reproduce the error somehow?
