Can't Rename over unc address

#1 Post by BGM » 02.08.2011, 22:56

Hello, y'all! I want to rename a file over a unc location. I am in \\server\folder on a Linux server. Pushing F2 or even selecting "rename" from the file menu has no effect. And I think it locks up some process in FCXE 547, because when, after that, I type in another network address, FC freezes completely and then crashes. If FC doesn't get locked up like this, there is no problem with the network addresses. I tried rename over a windows unc location and it doesn't have the same hangup. Now, I used to do this all the time with the old FC2009b without ever a problem.

Is the option "Use dialog window for rename" active?
Try to rename some file in \\server\folder\folder2.
...FC freezes completely and then crashes
Have you a bug report from the crash?

Yes, the dialog window is enabled. The log file doesn't say anything except that the program started and the program exited (two lines). I can't get it to crash again, but I can confirm that the rename dialog won't work. It works on a windows network location, but not on the linux network location.

Renaming on the first folder level i.e. \\server\folder1 seems to be fixed on XE 548 thank you Marek!

But I have a similar Problem (perhaps with the same solution?) on a Buffalo Linux NAS server (XFS file system) with the file list view:

- i have added a special general "column profile" with only "name", "extension", "size" and "Modified" for everything (without a defined condition)
- by changing to the first folder level i.e. \\server\folder1 of the Linux server the view changes automatically to other columns "Name", "Größe", "Elementtyp" und "Änderungsdatum" (column names of the german Windows)
- if you try to add columns via the context menu "Add/remove columns" only colums of the type "Windows" are shown; the normal type "FreeCommander" and their corresponding columns are completely missing
- by changing in deeper folder levels (2., 3. .....) that (FreeCommander-) columns are automatically shown correctly that are stored in the "column profile"
- by manually applying the "custom profile" via the menu [View]-->[Column profiles]--<profile name> it is possible even in the first folder level of the Linux server to switch to the desired columns (remark: then the date of the parent folder ".." is shown as 30.12.1899 00:00:00)
