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

[David Eriksson]

I can confirm the behavior. The renaming uses KIO::rename, as fara as I 
can tell, so maybe the problem is related to this.

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.
