Files/Folders getting renamed (weirdness)

Post by AyJayTee »

Sorry for the vague topic title but I couldn't think of a better one. :p

I've noticed a strange behaviour with XYplorer when I'm in the process of renaming a file or folder and I switch tabs before renaming the file/folder.

I think it best to describe how I do it so you can try for yourself and see what I mean. So .....

[EDIT] ... the below procedure relates to viewing in LIST mode (I just tried it in DETAIL mode and it doesn't do the weirdness)

Open 2 tabs with different locations and make sure there is at least two folders in each (it could be files ... doesn't matter).

In the 1st tab just click the 1st folder icon, so that the folder name is highlighted.

Now go to the 2nd tab and select the 2nd folder and press F2 (to rename) ..... leave the folder name in edit mode (so it's highlighted and the cursor is at the end (flashing).

Now click the 1st tab and you'll see that the folder name of the one that was selected (1st folder) has had its name completely removed and the second folder has had the name of the folder that was going to be renamed in the 2nd tab pasted over it (with any extraneous characters added to the end of that).

I hope that makes sense and can be repoduced.

[EDIT] ... oh, and just press ESC to stop the unwanted renaming from going ahead.

Hi AyJayTee,

I tried this several times but cannot reproduce this on v6.10.0074, which version number are you using?
Also please describe how you switch between tabs.

g'day serendipity

Sorry, I should have stated which version ... currently I'm using 6.10.0072.

I switch tabs by left clicking the tab title (tag along the top)

I'll grab 0074 and see if it still does it. (Will edit this post with the outcome)

[EDIT] .... still doing it with beta build 0074 :(

Yeah, the thing is to have the second tab on view List, then the Rename mode/editbox isn't closed / the rename operation isn't canceled on tab switch, resulting in some weirdness indeed!
