File Rename

Open CaverBruce opened this issue 6 years ago • 3 comments

I would like a > File > Rename menu option please. File > Save As... followed by > File > Delete is a work around, but it is very cumbersome when there is a whole set of files to rename. I guess consideration should be given to the Application behaviour with respect to linked files when a linked file is renamed, 'saved as' or deleted.

Hmm, v1.1.5 seems to have broken something (or it was broken earlier). I used 'save as' to make a copy of an existing survey, and it seems it actually performed a rename. ie the original file is no longer visible from the ST interface, and so i appear to have have lost its contents. using a file manager I can see that the there is a folder and json files for the original survey though.

There was some weirdness in the "save as" code, now fixed. Should work as intended in the new update.

After not looking at ST for many months..., yesterday (v1.6.0) I did a 'save as' and it behaved like a rename. This morning I tried to replicate it about four times with different surveys, and each time it behaved as is should, creating a new file with a new name and preserving the old file. Samsung Note 3 Possibly associated with files in the old format and automatic conversion to new format?? Don't know what the pre-save-as formats were.
