Notify when something is locked when moving.

Hi!
This was bugging me always. When I move a folder or file within the same drive its usually instantaneous. But sometimes something is locking the file. TC realizes this and starts copying the file, and THEN warns me that it can't move the file. Even if I skip or abourt I end up with a copy of the file. Which doesn't make sense. I don't want to copy the file. I think it would be best if TC warned me when it accesses the locked file, that way I could close the other program (maybe even TC could show which process is locking the file), and retry, or skip it.
