Rename doesn't work if other file is tagged

Post by Dreamer »

I'm not sure if this is a bug, or normal behavior.

- tag file A
- go to file B
- press F2 to rename file B
= the name in dialog is "A"

Beta 3 - test version, probably also with previous versions, Windows XP SP2.

No it's the normal behaviour, but i think that it's not good!
There is a dialog box that ask if tagged files must be used. It's the same for copy/move to...
But i'm not sure that this behaviour is good and easy to understand if you have selected some files and tagged some files!!!
But i don't know how to do it in a better way

If more files are tagged, Batch rename dialog is shown, it's OK IMO, but if only one file is tagged - and I click YES in that dialog, perhaps rename should be disabled, if possible, it's a bit confusing now, don't know, it's a minor issue...

This seems addressed in v.1.93.1. As far as I can tell, you must enter tag view/category for F2 to rename the tagged files.
