Double Commander

When using DBL commander can not rename files or folders in windows.

This is using F2 and or native rightclick rename.

Running in administrator mode does not help.

I've tried 3 different versions of DBL commander on 3 Windows 7
machines with same results.

Currently running Beta version 3.5.4 on Windows 7 .

Please advise .

Is there an error message?
Did you refresh filelist (Ctrl+R) ?
Try 0.5.5 version:

Hi thanks for the reply. Refresh makes no difference.
Upgrading Version 0.5.5. per the links above makes no difference.

Still can't rename folders or files.

Can rename folders and files on command line and also via windows explorer,
but not via Double Commander.

It seems to work for other people.
You need to explain step by step what you do and what happens. Maybe someone can reproduce it.

I have some trouble on 0.5.4 with Win 7, but it seems like a problem with UAC, because new dev version 0.5.5 is resloving problem by increasing the right and you will see UAC's window.

But on 0.5.4 you can solve problem by right click on link or file and Run as administrator or change property of link (Additional, Run as Administrator).

It's not a problem DC, it's UAC restrictions.

I think you are most likely correct in that it is somekind of Windows 7 restriction. In all my previous tests in the last
3 days though I've run DC as Administrator. And know checking -I can see -- UAC is turned off via the Users page of the control panel. I get the same behaviour with 32bit version loaded on my XP virtural instance.

The files/folders I'm attempting to change
via DC can all be renamed on the command line with the same user rights/account I use to load DC.

All other functions of DC work excellently, so am baffled about this particular issue.

The only clue I can present is a reoccuring error in the error log that may or may not be related to this. Otherwise when running 0.5.5 and other other versions I've tried no error occurs onscreen.

If there is anything I can do to help better define this problem please let me know. I realize it is a Windows issue, given though
all other programmes/command line and Windows browser can rename the same files and folders it is a mystery why DC can't.

Perhaps looking at the error message below will better define what the issue is.

Do you have this with 0.5.5 too?

You should specify what you do to rename file and at which point you think it fails. Via F2, F6, context menu? Do you press enter, click mouse?
Run 0.5.5 from console and see if any error message is printed.

Thanks for the reply.

To rename the file in DC I use:
F2
as well as right click on Rename in the context menu.

Both of which enable me to change the text of the name,
but the text changes never save in DC so far, like they do in
W7 Explorer.

All other file/folder operations are fine in DC. I can copy, move, create new fiiles... and so on from the context menu. And or I can use good old standard CTRL-C, CTRL-V and so on.

When starting DC from the console as you recommend- no error appears when attempting to rename file from DC using F2 or right click/context menu.

This is using 0.5.5 Alpha revision 4629 build 2012/04/18. platform ...win64.

And then you press Enter or click mouse outside of the edit box? Because the latter won't change the name.

That's it using the context menu in DC one must validate with enter while in the text box.

This behaviour is different in W7 and XP File explorer, which save when you exit the field.

Terminating the edit with enter though is intuitive -- and works. So I'm back to using DC.

Thanks for the tip:
