I'm trying to rename a folder with
RenameFile( old_name, new_name );

But it's throwing an error 32 (file/folder already in use).

Some process has the directory as its current directory.


I suspect the error comes from a TOpenDialog.

This works ok, but after that I'm not able to modify any file/folder
element inside folder selected by user.

I'm not able to change folder's name not even from windows explorer
(after using TOpenDialog); when my program exits then I can.

Nevermind, I solve the problem adding the option: ofNoChangeDir

There you go.

Note that while you have control over your own process, you can't
guarantee that some other process won't be sitting on your directory.
