Bitmap+ locks the file while read

Grasshopper

Once the Bitmap+ references the image file is becoming locked and can’t be overwritten. This prevents roundtripping between the new Grasshopper Texture nodes (available in the Rhino 9 WIP) and the Bitmap+ plugin. These two working together have a big potential, so it’s a pity.

@DavidMans can this work without locking the file?

P.S.
Javid plugin has an Open Bitmap component that do not lock the file.

Ah good catch.
I’ve changed that on some other plugins, but looks like I didn’t get to it in this one.
I’ll take a look soon and update
