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 mac 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, lockunmatic comes into play. simply drag and drop the affected files onto the applicationicon (or into the applicationwindow), and lockunmatic shows you a nice overview of all blocking processes. it's also possible to kill these processes from within the application.
lockunmatic is freeware and provided under the lgpl. the latest binary version can be downloaded in the downloadssection, as well as the sourcecode. the application is multilingual (english and german).
