Josh Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 That means another program has the file locked and it can't be opened. Is it open in another program? Is the file being saved from somewhere? How exactly are you importing these? My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without.

TattieBoJangle Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 Hi Josh the file wasnt in use no but you can close as i got it working where before i could just drag the files to the required folder and leadwerks would convert it now no longer works for me i have to drag it into the program its self.

Josh Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 So if you copy the file with Windows Explorer, you get this error. On the other hand, if you drag those files onto the program window, you do not get the error. Questions Are you copying the files, or moving them? There is a big difference because copying is slower. Are they large files? It sounds like maybe Windows explorer is still writing the file. My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without.

TattieBoJangle Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 That is correct yes only get the error when i drag the files to the folder. I am dragging not copy/paste They are around 1,024kb even if i move them to the folder and restart the computer in case anything is using it then leadwerks refuses to load just says waiting on file Asus Extreme v x99, Intel I7, Windows 8.1 64 Bit, SSD, Geforce GTX 980 4GB, 16GB Ripjaw DDR4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Since this cannot be reproduced, I am closing it. Please tell me if anyone else experiences a problem.
