MidiEditor should not lock the file while it's opened #62

Open Boscop opened 4 years ago

Boscop commented 4 years ago

I noticed whenever I open a midi file in MidiEditor, it locks the file so that it can't be written to, while MidiEditor is running, EVEN after I open another file so that the first file isn't even editable anymore. I have to restart MidiEditor to unlock the file.

Please don't keep the file locked. Especially after another file has been loaded to replace the first file. (I'm not saying it should auto-reload the file if it changed on disk, only to not keep it locked.) (The midi player I'm using to listen to midi files (AIMP) doesn't lock the file either, it loads it into RAM once.)
