When running an action “Robocopy Mirror”, there was this problem that a file could not be copied. In fact the file was FinalBuilder’s own lock file, “Build.fb7lck”.
So far, not a problem with FinalBuilder.
So I went to the action’s “Exclude files”, clicked the Add button, selected “Files…” in the dropdown, selected “Build.fb7lck”, and clicked on “Open”.
An error message dialog popped up, telling me "Build.fb7lck / This file is in use. / Enter a new name or close the file that’s open in another program."
In this case we only want to pick (a) file name(s), and not open any file. That can be done without generating this error.
Of course the workaround is simple, but this is a nuisance and should be fixed. If there are similar cases elsewhere in FB, it should be fixed there as well.
Hi Bent,
I have updated FinalBuilder to remove this validation on the robocopy action dialog. Previously the section of files was doing basic validation prior to closing the open dialog to make sure the files were able to be opened. It is this basic validation which I have removed for the GUI as it is not required as you point out.

Let me know how this goes for you.
