Undo Rename as in Windows Explorer

Post by chumbo »

One thing I find rather annoying is when trying to rename a file or folder that cannot be renamed for whatever reason (file or folder in use, open in other program,....), XYPlorer will display the message that it isn't possible to rename but when I choose to cancel the renaming it won't rename it back to what it was before! (as it happens in Windows Explorer)

So you then have to manually retype it EXACTLY as it was before, which in some cases has proved to be extremely tedious.

It would therefore be great that when that message pops-up, that cancelling would automatically rename the file back to what it was before!
Thanks,

jupe

You can just hit the escape button to get back to the previous filename.
