Is there some way to have Wavelab not think a file is still open?

I was doing some archiving with a client present. She wanted to listen to some tracks and then I had to put them in a different folder. In order to move the file I had to close WL every time.

I posted a similar request for a solution in 2022…

I get through with an audio file and close it in WL. I then want to move the file to a different folder. I get a message that the file is still open in WL and cannot be moved. Is this a bug or is there some reason for this? If I want to move the file I have to close down WL and reopen it which seems the “long way around”. Am I missing a setting or is this a bug? I am on Windows 10 with all the latest updates. Thanks in advance…

Why can’t WL let go of a file when it is closed??? This “problem” really slowed down the whole archiving process and the client was getting upset with the time it was taking and she was paying for. Thanks in advance.

Is this something that could be changed in WL12???

Well, in WaveLab 12 there will be some archiving features that could help indeed.

Thanks for the information…
