Lock-UnMatic overview

Lock-UnMatic shows processes blocking a file from being moved or deleted

Sometimes, files on the Mac cannot be deleted, moved or renamed. This can be caused by insufficient access rights, or because some processes are still using these files

Unfortunately, the OS X Finder doesn't tell the user which processes exactly are causing the lock. Also, these processes are often running hidden in the background - so they can't even be quit using the Dock

Here, Lock-UnMatic comes into play. Simply drag and drop the affected files onto the application-icon (or into the application-window), and Lock-UnMatic shows you a nice overview of all blocking processes. It's also possible to kill these processes from within the application

I have only had to try this a couple of times. But it worked perfectly. Nice little tool to have in my troubleshooting arsenal. Thanks.
