XYplorer Beta Club
I accidentally renamed folder (A) to name (B) that already existed in that folder. When i pressed Enter, wild Windows copy dialog appeared. It was the moment I knew I fukd up. I pressed No on first name conflict.
Almost all files moved from (A) to (B). Only few files remained in (A) folder (because i pressed No). So I moved files back to folder (A).
Both folders were git repositories and the problem is .git folder. I dont know which files I should move back to (A). .git folder is black box for me. So it seems i just lost (A) .git folder.
Fortunately (A) was new repository with few commits and if necessary, I can clone and restore (B) repository.
I think XYplorer shouldn't let such rename or should show some dialog just like Windows explorer.

Re: Rename folder bug
Which XY version,
which OS,
which "wild Windows dialog",
how was the rename invoked,
100% reproducible with a fresh XY instance?
Doesn't happen here on my system with the current XY beta,
I get a windows dialog asking me if I want to replace files in
the destination folder, skip them or choose for each file separately
immediately after trying to rename the folder...

Sorry for localized screenshot, I don't have english Windows.
So the problem is .git folder, because i don't know how to fix moved files.
