Prevent folder from locking

Hi! How to prevent a folder from access(move/delete) locking while opened in MC?

Mathias (Author):
MC don't lock folder directly.  There is really no way of doing that, the file system is doing that automatically
But when you copy a file, the file is then in use and the folder is than kind of locked. That is how the file system works.
You can delete a folder if files inside it are in use

Mathias,

--- Quote ---You can delete a folder if files inside it are in use

Should that be "You canNOT delete a folder if files inside it are in use"?

Mathias (Author):
hehe Whopss. Yes you are correct.. it should be "Can NOT"

Thanks for the answer, but I didn't mean copying or any other filesystem operations. I mean when a folder's subfolder is opened in MC, it prevents from deleting that parent folder. Windows Explorer allows you to do that: if an opened folder or it's subfolder was deleted, Explorer will just 'cd' to first existing parent folder in the path, no access error occurs.

UPD:
Yeah, that's probably also kind of "files in use", but probably there is a simple workaround?
