Moving "live" files isn't handled properly

Hi,

I'm using the desktop version of mockups (version Next205). I just noticed (an admittedly odd) file management issue that could probably be handled better...

I had about 5 mockup files opened from the same folder. Now, using Win Explorer, I moved them into a different folder. Not a great idea, I know - I forgot that I still had Mockups open.

Anyway, back in Mockups, the file tabs can no longer be closed. That is, I can right-click a tab and select "Close", but the tab doesn't go away.

Now, I close Mockups and reopen it. For each file I originally had opened (and later moved), I (correctly) get a message that the file can't be loaded. But, for each failed file open, I get an additional "New Mockup" tab at the bottom of the UI.

So, the things I think could be handled better in the above are:

- I probably shouldn't have been able to move the (open) files in the first place. Typically, I think most apps would have the opened files locked at the OS level.
- After moving the files, I should have still been able to close the tabs in Mockups
- After restarting Mockups, I don't think I should get a "New Mockup" tab for each missing file.

Thanks,

Jeff Godfrey
