When running the Move file to another folder command on a file that is already under use by another application (e.g. a pdf open in adobe reader), the plugin of course fails to move it (on Windows). However, no notification of this failure to move it is reported. An error, however, can be found in the console (see below). Ideally, a simple error notification would be given informing the user of this failure to move and the reason.
Steps to reproduce
- On Windows, open a pdf file in obsidian
- open file.pdf in another application like Adobe Reader
- run Move file to another folder command and choose folder
Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]
Please, follow the Troubleshooting Guide before answering Yes.
Expected result
An error pop-up message comes up informing me that the file was not moved because it is in use in another application
Actual result
PDF file silently does not get moved without the me being informed
