[Digikam-users] digiKam for KDE on Windows "Failed to rename Album"

[Peter Shute]

- Windows XP Pro, SP3.
- NTFS
- KDE 4.4.60
- LibQt 4.6.0
(All digiKam and all components were freshly compiled a couple of days ago with emerge.)

The collection is in P:\Photos.

I have images are in P:\Photos\BirdPhotos.bak\dir1, dir2, etc.  I was trying to rename BirdPhotos.bak to BirdPhotos.

I created a new album, P:\Photos\temp, and I could rename it.  I created an empty album under it, P:\Photos\temp\test, and still I could rename P:\Photos\temp.  But as soon as I placed a photo in P:\Photos\temp\test, I could rename P:\Photos\temp\test but not P:\Photos\temp.

Is anyone able to reproduce this behaviour?

Which windows version ?

Which FS (NTFS or FAT32) ?

Which Qt and KDE version ? (go to help/components info for details)

Where do you store your image (user dir) ? Try to play with a dir as c:/temp.

>> I'm trying to rename a directory in my collection, but it comes up with the error "Failed to rename Album".  It looks like this applies to any directory that has any directories under it.  Is that operation not allowed, for some reason?

>> If there's a technical reason why it isn't allowed, I'd like to request that the error message should say so.  I was initially thinking it was a file permission problem, or that another program had that directory open.

>> The behaviour after the rename attempt is erratic too.  If I try to rename a directory called birds1 to birds2, and it fails, then I collapse that part of the tree and expand it again, the directory has the name I attempted to set it to.  But after closing and reopening digiKam, the name is back how it was.

>> I'm also finding the menu doesn't always come up when I right click on the directory.  Sometimes I have to try it several times, sometimes I have to click on another then back again first.  Sometimes I see the outline of the menu only.
