Files not updated after rename (refresh problem)

stratus595 · 2009-11-18 01:06

I am using the new Beta version.

I have been using it all day - just installed it today - and it's been working wonderful! Now all of a sudden any rule I try to apply is not being applied after I hit rename. Even though everything is showing up as it should be in the "New Name" column and it says that the files were processed successfully.

Sometimes if I go out of the folder and go back in, it will then show it correctly as it was processed and should be but I have to go out of the folder and back in and it doesn't always work, I've just noticed it a few times it did.

Not sure what is going on???

Probably it's Windows problem, for example, some times my computer has bad days and when I save a file it doesn't appear until I refresh (press F5 on the keyboard).

Thanks SafetyCar, probably is a windows thing.

Yes, that sounds like a simple "refresh" problem in Windows Explorer.

I'm experiencing this problem all the time when I change only case of filename.

To solve this Win issue can you add option (checkbox) to refresh folder on Rename automatically? Thanks

This is a problem in Windows Explorer. Filenames have actually changed but Windows Explorer didn't update its view.

It is not a good idea trying to fix problems in Windows, it might eventually "backfire". There are ways of doing this (like simulating F5 keypress) but none of them are officially supported methods nor straight forward in implementation.

For those still experiencing this issue in Windows File Explorer...

You could try contacting Microsoft support or try alternatives to the native File Explorer application.

For example:
