The issue seems purely internal to File Manager which is obsessed with preventing me from hiding the file. In fact, I can seem to change the name to just about anything that does NOT begin with '.'. I'm now trying to change the name BACK to.
folderx name to folderx, which is how I got into this mess to begin with.
However, I'm not convinced this is the correct answer anyway - I was previously able to use File Manager to change a. Use a usb adapter and rename the directory on a PC.Įxtraordinarily infuriating! Removing my phone from its case, cracking the phone open, removing my SD card and attaching it to a PC just to change a filename is just about the most unworkable solution imaginable. Programs can only write to their assigned directories. In fact, the symptoms are very similar to this old thread about LR3.Random programs do not have write permission to directories on the SD card. Even if I kill the explorer process and go back to LR, you can see the folder is still locked and cannot be renamed.Īs soon as I exit LR, the folder is unlocked and I can rename it, either using the explorer or by re-launching LR. If I open a Windows Explorer in the same folder and use Lockhunter to know what process is locking, you can see that both Explorer (just launched) and a Lightroom process called dynamiclinkmediaserver.exe are locking the folder. Then, when browsing the pictures, I like to rename the folders by adding a description, like "YYYY\YYYY-MM\YYYY-MM-DD Event name".Īs you can see in the screencast, if I try to rename the folder by doing a right-click + "Rename" and entering a new name, I'm getting a "cannot rename or move the folder" error message. One issue I've always had from time to time, but which seems to happen more and more frequently is that a LR process locks a folder and prevents it from being renamed, even from LR itself.Īs a video is worth 10e6 words, here is a screencast (sorry it's in French): īasically, my picture transfer software first cleanly copies the pictures from the SD card and splits them by date in folders like "YYYY\YYYY-MM\YYYY-MM-DD".
