PA 9.01 can't compress files which are in use !!

Try to compress a mp3 which is played by winamp.
PA won't do it.

It makes this failure message

"Warning: Skipping F:\mp.mp3"

WinRAR can compress this file

Hi,

PowerArchiver is setup to skip locked files, including files that are exclusivly in use while some other utilities compress (or try to in some cases) locked files but dont compress files exclusivly in use.

We cant currently make distinction between files that are locked and files that are exclusivly in use by some application and thus unreadable.

thanks,

could you try to integrate an option "try to compress files in use" like in WinRAR?
