Screenshot of DigiKam error message on trying to move a video file that has
been recently previewed
SUMMARY
If you view any video file within latest Windows 8.2 it keeps that video
open/locked even after de-selecting. So attempts to move that file via DigiKam
or Windows will fail due to the file still being listed as open/in use.
Currently the only fix is to play a different video (or exit DigiKam) so that
original video will be released
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Preview an video within DigiKam
2. Click off to select (but not play) an alternate image or video within
DigiKam thumbnail view
3. Attempt to move original video file to a new folder location via DigiKam or
OS
OBSERVED RESULT
DigiKam and Windows OS say they cannot move the file
EXPECTED RESULT
DigiKam or Windows should be able to move the file as long as it's not being
actively played on selected in preview window
