Rename photo (album) does not work

Post by Ron »

My B3 has the following problem:
If I want to rename a photo or a album, the action of B3 is not rename, but move.
It displays: Select destination to move 1 albums and 0 images?
So, i can't rename

For POSIX systems, like bubba, move is the same action as rename. In the bash shell, typing "mv a.txt b.txt" basically renames a.txt into b.txt.

I don't know if I understand your comment.
If i'm working in the browser, in the photoalbum, and I click a picture and click 'rename' (the button), the photoalbum wants to move the picture, not to rename it.
Is that a bug or should I reinstall the photoalbum? If so, how?

I can rename the physical album in the filemanager (home/storage/pictures)
but I can't rename the photoalbum displayed at http://b3/album
If i want to do that, i get the message: 'Select destination to move 0 albums and 1 images?'

So: should i reinstall the application? If so, how?

I would say it is a bug. If the icon first talks about rename and then a move it is a bug. The language should be consistent. So even if the rename functionality actually exist right now it is still a bug.

But Ubi is right there is no such thing as an rename in the Linux shell. An rename is just an special move of the file where we move the file to the same folder but to a different name.

This is a pure bug on our side, somewhere along the way the renambe-button was linked to the move feature. Fixed in the 2.3 release coming up soon.
