Lock-UnMatic

Lock-UnMaticSometimes, 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, 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.

Lock-UnMatic is freeware and provided under the LGPL. The latest binary version can be downloaded in the Downloads-section, as well as the sourcecode. The application is multilingual (English and German).

Hello Andrew,

Lock-UnMatic is not a removal or uninstaller tool. You can just use it to see whether files are in use by one or more processes. If you have problems uninstalling Norton applications, please read the manual or contact the manufacturer.

Best regards,
Oli

Lock-UnMatic is a very practical way to unlock my files, specially the virus I get when using a USB drive at a Windows PC.

The program seems to automatically unlock files I drag into it, without telling me what program was keeping it in use, but that is fine by me!

Thanks for a nice functional program!
