Cannot rename or delete some group names

Post by Robert Mueller »

Hi great program!

I am using the trial program and deciding to purchase it.

I have 239 group names and counting.

I have thousands of fonts already listed.

I tried to rename a group and got error message Error moving file "cannot move file: cannot read from the source file or disk."

I created the group in the maintype program and can't even delete it with either of my two other non explorer programs.

I also got a message something like no memory available, I closed the program and restarted and it did not happen again.

I am using V 3.0 with Windows XP home Build 2600 and 2gb memory available.

Please Help

It looks like Windows refused to rename the folder. Probably one or more files inside the folder were locked. It is hard to tell what process locked the files, but most likely the problem is solved after a reboot.
