New/rename folder: Endless "Confirm Folder Replace" dialogs

[AlexanderM]

Hi,
Using version 8.40.0117, I have this bug to report.

Repro steps:

1) Go to any folder
2) Create a folder named "temp" (or anything)
3) Hit Ctrl+N to create another new folder - OR - rename an existing folder
4) Write "temp" as the folder name (same as in step 2) and press enter
5) A "Confirm Folder Replace" dialog comes up - click the No button

Result: An endless loop of "Confirm Folder Replace" dialog continue to come up when you click No, and the only way to get out of it is to either click the Yes button or move the mouse cursor to the new folder name and put in an extra character so that it doesn't clash with the existing folder.

The way Windows Explorer handles it is that if you click No, it renames the new folder you're trying to create to the default "New Folder".

Hm, this does not happen under XP.

It looks like a focus problem to me. After you click No the focus should go back to the edit box. But it does not, right?

Sorry forgot to mention that I'm using Vista 64-bit. Yeah I guess the problem is that it doesn't switch focus back to the edit box.

Can anybody on Vista/Win7 confirm this behavior?

BTW, 64 bit is not relevant here. Any 64bit issues only concern system paths (WOW64) and shell extensions in shell context menu.

Not related to 64-bit, happens to me on my 32-bit Win7.

You can also hit escape couple of times and the folder will be renamed to "New Folder" or so.

Sorry for the confusion, I had forgotten a "not"...

Hmm.. cannot reproduce this here on v8.40.0120 & Vista.

I can repro on my Win 7 Pro using .0117 beta. Same thing happens when I deal with files instead of folders.

EDIT: I can repro in .0120 as well

Using: Win7, XY 8.50.0010

This issue is somehow related to "File operation progress dialog modeless"-setting ("Advanced" in config-dialog)

Enable it and the bug does not appear any longer (at least for folders)

Producing the rename-conflict for files behave different for me:
Choosing the name "test.txt" Win7 asks me to rename the file to "test (2).txt"
Click yes => the filename becomes "test (2).txt".
Click no => Does nothing to the file system BUT the list-entry in XY is updated to the new name. Resulting in two entries with the same filename on the list.
Refreshing the list shows the correct names again.

Well, this will have to wait until I have Win7 here and running. Unfortunately I heard that an upgrade from XP to Win7 is not possible, which is very bad news for me. But some solution will pop up I'm sure.

Did you want to install *over* XP? I would *never* do this...
And wouldn't it be good for testing to keep XP *and* 7?
For example: use 2nd HD, switch boot-disk by BIOS, and install on new disk? Then you can boot XP or 7 at your will...

I'm surprised that XP Mode hasn't been mentioned yet: http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/window ... lable.aspx

Isn't XP-mode *like* XP, while XP *is* XP?
Especially for testing application-problems with XP - not just for using kind of "XP-application" on 7.

Or even just VirtualBox with an XP guest, either should be good enough for most things.

Windows XP Mode (XPM) is a virtual machine package for Windows Virtual PC containing a pre-installed, licensed copy of Windows XP SP3 as its guest OS. Pre-installed integration components allow applications running within the virtualized environment to appear as if running directly on the host, sharing the native desktop and Start Menu of Windows 7 as well as participating in file type associations. XP Mode applications run in a Terminal Services session in the virtualized Windows XP, and are accessed via Remote Desktop Protocol by a client running on the Windows 7 host.

Applications running in Windows XP mode do not have compatibility issues as they are actually running inside a Windows XP virtual machine and redirected using RDP to the Windows 7 host.
