unlock_files is a simple script that recursively unlocks files in a dropped folder or set of files/folders.
If double-clicked, unlock_files prompts the user to select a folder to unlock the contents of.

The script will report the number of files processed, the number of errors encountered, as well as the number of locked files and associated errors. reporting can be turned off by setting the 'gen_report' property to false (the truly ambitious can remove all the if statements beginning with "if gen_report then..." and the routines "report()" and "init()," as well as all global variable statements and properties [except the property "fn_name"] - in that order).

Script can be repurposed by changing lines between commented areas in 'cycle_items.' 'run,' 'open 'and 'walk_folders' subroutines are static (based on my recursive.droplet script from 1999). error reporting and file selection strings should be changed to suit (fn_name and fn_nick properties).
