Renaming Folders under Windows 10 sometimes fails

Post by GringoFX »

Hello,

I often encounter a situation when I rename a folder in the folder tree, but after pressing Enter, the old name remains.
Sometimes it works though. Honestly, I still haven't figured exact sequence of steps to replicate it.
This might be a conflict between Widows File Explorer and XnView, but sometimes I have the same folder open in both, and renaming works.

I use either USB drives or SD cards, but I'm not sure if this matters.

I've never had this issue with XnView Classic.

XnView MP Version 0.94.1 64bits (Nov 21 2019), Windows 10.

Hi Piere,

No, I don't use editing in XnView.

I thought the preview tab would lock files, but it's not always open when I experience the problem.

I just did some sorting with renaming on my older computer with Windows 8 and XnView classic, and there was no issue there.
