Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
we scan books and I have to rename each folder (by name) through viewing their content
whenever the folder images are open in ImageGlass, Windows Explorer does not allow to rename the folder and reports Folder In Use
and I have to close ImageGlass to make changes to the folder name
Describe the solution you'd like
I would love to have the ability to make changes to folder in such scenario
like it does on Windows Photos and other image viewers
Additional context
one strange thing I have noticed is that when I drag n drop the image in new ImageGlass window, explorer allows me to change its folder name 😅 - when no other file is open from the same folder
problem only appears when file is directly opened from Windows Explorer

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in ImageGlass when an image is opened directly from Windows Explorer, then compare it with an image dragged into a new ImageGlass window. Trace which open-file or folder access keeps Windows Explorer from renaming the folder; done means the folder can be renamed while its images remain open, without breaking browsing.
