[BetterRed]

I was editing a book from within calibre GUI, after doing quite a lot of editing I realised it was a bigger job than first anticipated so I moved the book from my Main library to my UnderEdit library.

But silly me hadn't saved the book I was editing, so when I went back to the editor to close it, I got the "Do you want to save your work" popup, clicked Yes and got OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory. So I had to save a copy, and replace the epub in my UnderEdit library with it.

If I make the same blunder when I have a DOCX open in Word or a PDF open in Xchange, then when I try to do the move I get the error message IOError: [Errno 13] File is open in another process: . So I have to go back to Word or Xchange to save and close the file - before re-doing the move.

So my question is - if the calibre GUI can detect I have a DOCX or PDF open in a 3rd party Editor when I try to move a book, then should it not detect I have an EPUB open in its 'own' Editor when I try to move a book?
