Files/Folders getting renamed (weirdness)
Posted: 04 Aug 2007 21:14
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.
