I say what calibre does on a rename, depends on the file system, what do you say it depends on?

I've found that if calibre encounters a locked file it always throws an error message - it only happens in Windows because Linux and OSX don't have file locking. If it happens in a rename the locked file is left as is, in its current location, which will show up as errors in Check Library. I'm very familiar with this because I sometimes use Word 2007 which locks the files it has open, so I have to be careful to close them before I do anything with them in calibre - convert, rename, embed meta etc.
