#103 Files are not closed properly

[Scott Severance]

pdfsam basic v. 2.2.4
Windows 7
Java 8?

To reproduce:
1. Use the Rotate plugin (or possibly another plugin).
2. Now, try to rename or delete the file you rotated.
3. Windows doesn't allow any operations on the file because pdfsam still has it open.
4. The only way to get the file closed is to exit pdfsam.

Correct behavior:
Pdfsam should open each file prior to processing it, and then close the file immediately upon completion of the process. Of course, one could argue that Windows is being less than intelligent by not allowing files to be renamed or deleted when a program has them open. But, there's a 0% chance of Windows changing.

Hi, could you test if the issue is still present in PDFsam v3?
the version you are using is not supported anymore and in few weeks the stable release of PDFsam v3 will be out. You can find it here https://github.com/torakiki/pdfsam/releases

Unfortunately, I don't have any development tools on this machine, nor do I
have any knowledge about how to build Java programs from source, nor about
how to build any software on Windows. I've never encountered any other open
source Windows software that doesn't come in binary form with an installer.
Is there a Windows installer for version 3?
