    Description

    FilterLockedFiles uses Python to evaluate whether files are locked or unlocked. This is especially useful when parsing Server logs with Dynamic Input. Dynamic Input currently breaks on a locked file, but you can prevent this issue by removing the locked files with FilterLockedFiles.

     

    Version 1 notes:

    - Macro removes files when Python encounters PermissionError

    - Folder Browse currently creates odd spacing within the interface

    Great macro!! Anyone dealing with log files (we do error log parsing to determine what tools/processes are problematic on scheduled runs) will appreciate this mightily!
