Too much Rename

Post by m.Th. »

The File conflict dialog appears when it shouldn't.

Steps:

1. Select a thumbnail and press F2 to enter in Filename Edit mode
2. Click on another thumbnail

Expected: The Filename Edit mode should be canceled and the new thumbnail should be selected

Actual: The Filename Conflict (the Replace | With...) dialog appears

it's actually logical, although it may not be desired by any one, and it may surprise users...

when a file is in name edit state, and you click on another file, you are asked if you want to change the file name to the file you clicked on secondly -and if to exact same name it will overwrite, hence the confirm or "copy of xyz" dialogue

The computer logic is very different sometimes from the human logic. :)
