fresh; current x32 beta:
Code: Select all
Configuration | General | Startup & Exit | Save Settings | [x] Save changes to disk immediately
Configuration | General | Startup & Exit | Save Settings | Apply to... | [x] Tags
Configuration | Information | Tags | [x] Copy tags on backup and sync operations
Code: Select all
C:\Temp\new\sub1\sub2\PS
C:\Temp\new\sub1\sub2\PowerShell
The PS folder is just for the second test, it is absolutely empty
The PowerShell folder contains a few files and subfolders with files as well
I've tagged two files there (one in the PowerShell folder itself, one in the first subfolder of it)
Code: Select all
moveto "C:\Temp\new", "C:\Temp\new\sub1\sub2\PowerShell", , , 2, 5, 1, 0, 0, 1, 3, 0;PowerShell folder up the hierarchy.The tag db reflects that change immediately and when I undo the operation (button in the toolbar) the
PowerShell folder is moved back into its original position and the tag db again reflects that operation just fine.Now I execute this:
Code: Select all
$newName = renameitem("PS", "C:\Temp\new\sub1\sub2\PowerShell", , "-00001");
PowerShell folder into PS-00001 and again, the tag db reflects that change just fine.When I now undo the operation the
PS-00001 is renamed back to PowerShell again BUT the tag.db will NOT reflect this change!This is the state after the undo operation:
Code: Select all
C:\Temp\new\sub1\sub2\PS-00001\!Which PowerShell version on which OS.txt|0|abc|||||||||||||||||
C:\Temp\new\sub1\sub2\PS-00001\#CMDlets\@Homepage [PowerShell gallery].url|0|def|||||||||||||||||
confirmed. 
But I think the issue was much more general: After renaming a tagged folder, selecting Undo did not update the tags database (not even in memory).
