Hello,
I just updated to 6.4.2222 and I noticed the behavior changed when creating new folders or files using the context menu ("Right click -> New -> Folder" or "Right click -> New -> Text Document").
In this version the folder gets created with the name "New Folder" and I have to press F2 to be able to rename it.
In the previous version after having created the new folder it was possible to rename it without pressing F2 because the inline rename function was activated automatically.
Is this change by design? Is there an option to revert back to the previous behavior?
-
Confirmed :-(
Tools -> Create Folder works OK, as does the hotkey.
-
Ahh Yes of course that fails. Forgot about new folder from context menu. never uses that..
Hm damn tricky to fix..
-
I never use the context menu either, which is why I forgot to test in Beta; sorry ::)
But "tricky" != "impossible" ;)
-
No not impossible.. just tricky == "not a quick fix, will require a bit of time"
Issue is that now it does
* Create a new folder,
* Rescan to make sure it is shown
* Enter Rename mode..
Problem is that "Rescan" is now happening in the background. So when "Enter rename mode" is called the scan is not finished completed. The items it tries to set as rename mode on does not exists in the view yet.
-
All understood. Yeah, tricky...
Maybe queue the folder creation & allow the rename ("virtual" folder created) then check before initiating the scan?
I know - that is not how folder creation currently works... :(
But it is a PITA.
-
After updating to 6.4.1.2225 folder/file creation once again works like a charm.
Thanks, you guys rock! :)
-
Confirmed as fixed in 2225.
Well done Mathias - you are certainly having a very productive vacation ;)
-
Well it is almost fixed :)
In normal situation it is fixed. But over some slower network connection to some server running samba (Linux and some NAS). It does not enter rename mode.
But right now is works in 95% of the cases , and that is good enough for now
