Renaming GPX files
« on: November 13, 2010, 09:31:15 AM »
I was trying to rename some GPX files from within the program.  In the past I've done this in the middle window at the bottom; the window to the right of the directory tree and to the left of the active file window.

When I tried to do it this morning, it looked like it was working. The entry has the little box around it, and you could edit the name in typical Windows fashion. The name even appeared to change to the new name when I was finished.

However the file was never renamed. Upon closing Topofusion and restarting, the files now appeared with their original names.

I'm wondering if this is a bug or if I have some system settings mucked up on my end.

Thanks

Hi,

The only place where renaming is allowed is in the 'active file list', which is the lower right part of the main TF window (the one with all the stats).

Oops, you are right, the other places allow it.  Shoot, thanks for pointing that out.

When you actually rename the file using the active list TF will pop up a window confirming the rename.

I'll change it so the 'file picker' window doesn't allow a rename that doesn't work.

Thanks.

Yep, renaming works fine in the Active file list.

Thanks!

I have been looking looking around for this kind of information.
