Error on dir rename

[Lucefer-AB]

I open TC with
Left panel path into the dir "D:\WORK\AK\FPP1\-=!From mail!=-\" cursor placed on files in thhis dir
Right panel path: "D:\WORK\AK\" - cursor on dir "FPP1"
I make a click on dir and try to inline edit dir name to "FPP" and can't do it.
I ll get error dialog with can't access mesages

This is no error in the T.C. rename function, but the standard Windows behaviour.

Because you are inside the FPP1 folder in the left panel, you cannot rename it in the right panel.

Is it possible to hook renaming and synchronous forward left and right panels to the new destination?

Au!!! But if in this case I press F6 and manually correct file name it will be changed! It is a bug! It's look like author is lazy, or busy smth. minor part.

It is a bug!

It's not TC's fault. Use two Explorer windows and try the same - you'll get an error message, too.

However TC's message "can not read..." doesn't fit exactly here. Explorer says (translated): "NAME can't be renamed: Access was denied."


BTW, I would prefer an option "I don't care about other tasks, do the rename as I told", too - but that seems to be difficult to do (and maybe dangerous for the running programs currently using the path).

That is not true in my XPSP2
If renaming - explorer automatically switches to the new dir.
If deleting - explorer window is closed.

Pretty cool thing this explorer (too bad stuff like that is rare)

That probably depends on how deep you are inside the directory structure:

• create dir structure C:\test\1
• open in explorer #1: C:\test\1 (see its contents on the right part of the explorer window)
• open another explorer window and try to rename (or delete): C:\test => C:\test_renamed (or something)

C:\test\1 can be safely renamed here, but on
C:\test any try to rename fails with an error message ("access denied...").

BTW, W2k acts a little bit different to XP after deleting: instead of closing it jumps to the directory level above the deleted one.
