Actually, the users are shown files in a NSTableView and they select a menu to

I guess a poor workaround would be since it's not possible to reliably check if
the file is open I can force the user to quit the file's default app before
allowing them to encrypt. It's just kind of heavy-handed.

Is there a way for me to tell if a particular file is open in another
application?
I have a feature I'd like to provide to my users that involves encrypting files

Excel file). I want to prevent the user from encryptin
