Hi,
we discovered a major problem with renaming folders with subfolders
testszenario:
folders:
test1
test1/test1-1
test1/test1-2
all 3 folders contain a test message
after renaming the top level folder test1 to test2 following folders exist:
test2
test2/test1-1
test2/test1-2
the subfolders
are there
