Hello friends, I do have a clue on what's happening:
This I just experienced recently and am inclined to say that the reason one can not rename the file to a particular fileName is that there is a launcher or perhaps some metalink pointing to a folder with the particular fileName AT THE LOCATION WHERE THE FOLDER IS TO BE RENAMED. The one problem is with the error-message which implies that "there is already a folder with that name'. This happened in my Desktop, and HAS NOTHING TO DO with FAT-32. This happened to me when I copied a folder on the desk top named name1 to some place else. Then in that somewhere else, I renamed the file to name2 and it was accepted. Then when I wanted the renamed folder back to the Desktop, the operation was OK. But a launcher originally within that folder would not work. So I tried to rename name2 back to name1 and I got exactly the error-message in this thread. I am sure I can fix the problem by changing launcher properties and renaming things to match. If not I just delete things and recreate back original folder and launcher. Note that I still have a copy of name2 in its 'somewhere else' place. -- Problem changing names to files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/228348 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
