New Action - Is File Locked

I would like an action to determine if a file is locked or not.

Use Case

You need to move or delete a file, but you can't because it is locked. In some cases, when trying to delete the file, Windows will display a message that the file is in use. You cannot dismiss this Windows message, since Foxtrot is still in 'running' state.

Current Workaround

Currently, I run a PowerShell to check if the file is locked, and if isn't then Delete/Move/Rename it.
