File Rename Issue TP9-3928 (previous releases as well)

[Gary]

Three files in folder:  A.jpg, B.jpg and C.jpg.

Thumbnails made for each image.  The objective is to delete A.jpg then rename B.jpg to A.jpg (this works just fine in TP7):

- Click on A.jpg thumbnail then delete the file.
- Click on B.jpg and press F2 to rename file to A.jpg.  Dialogue box appears:
  B.jpg:  Cannot rename file to A.jpg
    The system cannot find the file specified.
    Message 5110-2
    Click OK
  The same dialogue box appears again.
    Click OK
- File B.jpg disappears from thumbnail list leaving only C.jpg.
- Press F5 to refresh the list.
- File B.jpg reappears but has in fact been renamed A.jpg.

I found a work around:

- Click on A.jpg thumbnail then delete the file.
- Click on another folder in folder list, then click back to working folder.
- Rename of B.jpg to A.jpg works as expected.

Cheers,
Gary

YES! This has been bugging me a LOT!

There also seems to be problems with files that are created, copied or restored from outside of TP. If I restore from the Recycle bin the file does not get added automatically. I have to click on another folder or refresh.

Thanks!

I completely forgot about this, it's a real pain. Thanks for mentioning.

Getting a little happy on the forums lately?

This has been reproduced here in house. You don't have to go through the steps that you as a better work around is to use the F5 key.

Thank you for the report Gary. This issue will be fixed in the next release.

Kind regards,
Laura

Duh.  Thanks Laura.  I never thought to delete file, F5, then rename.  Works like a champ.

Cheers,
